From The Imagist :
Christina Kruse's upcoming exhibit will also feature two limited edition books chronicling her 12 years of work
I was a mess this morning. Late for my Spur It-Girl interview with Christina Kruse I rummaged through my coat and realized I left my camera at home. Duh! Thankfully my I-phone has a record add-on and that saved the day. I'm now sitting at my desk transcribing the interview and I have to say I was really awed by Christina's calm, centered energy. Very dignified but very warm is how I'd describe the aura but most of all super-private in a way that makes the idea of "privacy" feel oddly...chic. . We spoke about her life as an artist, her upcoming exhibit at the Steven Kasher Gallery in NYC on March 5th , her life as a model from the 90's till now and her life as a mother. My favorite quote from the interview ? "As far as I'm concerned when it comes to books and printing everything went downhill after the Guttenburg bible". That gave me a good laugh which I always need when I have to be up early on a Saturday morning. I know I've gone off on my screeds in the past about how "The Industry" fails to recognize the range and complexity inherent in the proposition of a woman. But that's not completely true. Christina is not some blank 15 year old yet her recent bookings have been as enviably blue-chip as any. There's one really beautiful edit coming up in that certain bi-annual fashion bible that I can't wait to see. It proves that the true creatives of the industry work hard to transcend the banality and narrow mindedness of constantly casting only one kind of girl . I want to thank James at Women and Christina for facilitating such an intelligent and civilized Saturday morning.
