From the artists:

“This series of works is a collaboration with my other half,
a 4 1/2 year old black lab.
Napali has worked diligently over the past several months to destroy my most prized possessions: vintage heels.
This is an ode to my dog, and a memoir of love lost.”
-Erin Broadhurst
“I can’t explain what I create. When I put my pen to my paper the images inside my head start to unfold. I’m attracted to complicated images with intricate patterns. I use the same ideas in my work. For most people you either love it or hate it. I’m not trying to change the world or give a meaning to my art that isn’t there. It’s simply visually stimulating art that I love to create.”
-Lauren DiMemmo
