These are works by a young american artist called Erin M. Riley. They're all tapestries representing the type of image we're all bombarded with everyday on facebook, tumblr, instagram, films and popular culture in general. The girls are anonymous and faceless, because that's how this image bombardment operates: depersonalizes the depicted and desensitizes the viewer (Andy Warhol had warned us about that). But then it's their technique - tapestry - that gives them their much needed gravitas. One the one hand it's a celebration of vulgarity, while on the other hand it's carefully crafted like you'd expect from representations of classical themes, where the female body materializes only the purest of virtues.
