About The Work
“My father built flying saucers in the front yard as I was growing up,” she said. “He believed that they were the future of transportation and would take us out of poverty. But he couldn’t keep his current transportation functioning because he kept getting flat tires and running out of gas.”
Granny Weiss exemplifies the text-driven aesthetic featured in much of Watson’s work, which has appeared on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim online, and Vice.com. “I come from a world of illustration and comics,” Watson explained. “I am interested in the semiotics of visual storytelling, so my work always includes text in the spirit of Italian ex-voto or ‘miracle painting.’”
