For women, for artists, for painters, how does it exactly work; what does it mean to be your own muse? Who is the luster? Emily Roz plays with tropes of display: curtains, stages, poses, lighting effects. Her background in fiber and a formative early-career job ironing tablecloths for a party rental company fed into a lifelong love of gold lamé and draping folds. Her postures and surfaces eschew contemporary naturalism in favor of a heightened self-consciousness of the history of women’s bodily exhibition. Roz’s alter egos recline in an environment subject to no rules but their own.
