 I'm especially excited about seeing the work of Dawn Clements from Woburn, Massachusetts.  Her "large-scale drawings depict interior domestic spaces, either her own surroundings or those in classic 1940s and 1950s Hollywood melodramas" (quoted from Whitney website).  I'm most likely drawn to her work because of her obsession with old movie sets of interior spaces which ties in my weird love for mediocre older movies, my secret dream of becoming a movie production designer, and my lifelong love of interior design and furniture.  Maybe I just want to be Dawn instead and spend my days drawing obsessively.  I think I could be happy doing that too.
