Rebecca Bournigault
is the true Warholian child of the bunch!
One can not imagine her hapless, yet riveting
portraits without the history of Andy Warhol's
four-minute screen tests. Bournigault completely
understands the discomfort factor which her
medium imposes upon her sitters and, thus,
she supplies them with popular song lyrics to
which they happily lip synch in their bungling,
maladroit ways.
