NOW REPRESENTING LEELA CORMAN
Leela Corman’s comics are riddled with explicit self-portraits, beautifully rendered. And many of her characters look remarkably like her. Corman was brought up on the isle of Manahatta (Lenape land), but spends much of her imagination in the Old World, in the Europe of World War II. Her ancestral departure from that world has left in her a wound that never heals. Leela has a second, a deeper wound that never heals. Her first daughter, her first child, for no apparent reason, at two-years-old, died in bed. She offers her stories as inoculations. As she says, “Each one is like a gigantic lullaby for people whose grief is exhausting. A cave to crawl into, where our sorrow is seen, and we are allowed to rest.” Please click below to link to her Artist page, replete with images, press, publications.
