Eden Tirl is one of five accusers who filed new allegations against Bill Cosby in New York in December of 2022. Tirl was a 22-year-old model who had landed a bit part on The Cosby Show when, she says, Cosby sexually harassed her in his dressing room.
Headdresses and crowns deify Kate Kelton’s subjects. She uplifts the Unsung Sheroes & Heroes, Patriarchy Smashers, Warrior Survivors, Silence Breakers, Philosophers, Truth-Tellers, Whistle Blowers and Thought Giants. She paints portraits cloaked in the garb of statues Ladislav Šaloun sculpted onto the train station that her great-grandfather, Josef Fanta, designed for Prague in 1901 – 1909.
Apotheosis through a reclaimed, reapplied Art Nouveau.
