An ethereal, high-key pastel wash where form threatens to dissolve entirely into ambient light. Soft lavender, seafoam cyan, and powdered rose tones drift across the daybed, softening the stitched seams of Greer Lankton’s muslin figure. A melancholic study capturing imperial trans/queer sovereignty at the edge of historical erasure—faint, translucent, but immortal. - Donation art. 15% split to Breaking Ground in NYC. Miss Kitty's number one mission is to end homelessness. - The Elagabalus Studies is a 22-part exploratory cycle investigating the fragile intersection of sovereign identity, imperial decadence, and systemic erasure. Centered on Roman Emperor Elagabalus reclining upon an ivory daybed within the Palatine Palace, the work is executed in the grotesque, vulnerable, hand-stitched doll-sculpture vernacular of East Village pioneer Greer Lankton. The emperor's body—constructed of sewn painted muslin with visible hand-wrought seams, gold-embroidered Syrian silk, layered glass beads, and rooted mohair—embodies a sovereign trans/queer figure who defied Roman gender orthodoxy. Across 22 distinct chromatic and tonal studies, this series investigates the psychological frequency of light: shifting from high-key solarized Mediterranean glare and Renaissance red-chalk cartoons to deep gothic chiaroscuro, cold Prussian indigos, and blazing Byzantine jewel-tone mosaics. Each study exists as an authentic, sovereign Edition of 1 on Base, offering patrons an intimate view into the raw studio evolution of the coming monumental cycle.
