Trying to Remember the Color of Jackie Kennedy's Pillbox Hat
Pastel on paper
100 drawings at 11” x 9”
1994

This piece is an attempt to remember the precise color of the hat Jackie Kennedy wore on the November day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The 100 pastel drawings are made in different pink tones, trying to remember the color anew each time. 3-4 layers were often combined to make a single color.
