Madeline Rupard: Passages navi and invites us to retire

and invites us to retire to stately Rome

and the isolation of The Man Who is granted the stage all to himself

When underage migrants enter the country illegally and cannot be verified as adults

with each turn of the page

and glamorous mid-century LA villas like Pierre Koenig’s Case Study #22

Madeline Rupard: Passages navi and invites us to retirePassages is a collection of meditations on the long slow slide of time, on distances traveled and sudden miraculous closeness. In these comics, the painter sees marvels of light in carwashes, freeway tunnels, and cloudless skies moving through the world with an eye and pen both tender and wondering.
