Are you in the mood for an existentially dark, yet lighthearted rom-com about about wonderfully mature women who's vivacious energy seduces a youth with mommy issues? Us too! We popped the cork of some "organic" wine while talking to Virginia-based artist Margret Meehan about one of her favorite movies Harold and Maude, which is a direct inspiration for many of her artworks. While watching this film, we couldn't help but fall in love with Maude as she shows us that "if we want to be free, be free" and how the act of living can be intoxicatingly life affirming. RIP (Resist in Peace) Maude (Ruth Gordon) xoxo Tangents include: grandmother's scents, sex shaming, WITCH (Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell), manic pixie dream girl trope, Arlington National Cemetery, Wes Anderson, cardinals, extreme embalming For more information about Margrets's studio practice, check out his website www.margaretmeehan.net and Instagram @margaretmmeehan Follow us on Instagram @artists.talk.movies
