THE DELERAS

DIRECTOR/DP/EDITOR: HEATHER MCGRATH

The Deleras are a series of paintings of women that are 8 - 20 feet high done by Faring Purth. Each piece was created from different sources of inspiration: references of old photographs, reflections … perhaps of someone’s lover, someone’s child. The day these paintings hung from the trainyard rafters was the first and only time they were displayed together. After that day, Faring installed each painting in its own city around the USA. They can be found in Boston, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Austin, Oakland
