Based on three central figures from Essenhigh’s 2003 painting, Power Party, this copper plate etching exemplifies the artist’s surreal, fluid style. The painting depicts an upscale soiree as a shadowy, villainous gathering, the social elite as menacingly seductive creatures. The three women singled out in this etching seem to melt into each other, emerging like serpents from their billowing hems. Like much of Essenhigh’s work, the everyday world is morphed into stunning scenes of dark fantasy.
