âPresents scenes from the life of William Heirens, dubbed the âLipstick Killerâ .. Trainor imagines Heirensâs private moments through a series of dreamlike vignettes. Taking cues from a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry in 1946, Trainor depicts the juvenile Heirensâs pathological obsessions and behavioral abnormalitiesâhis penchant for stealing womenâs underwear, his compulsion to break into apartments and defecate in them .. âI got interested in a process of rote, uncritical tracing, where my drawings would get bent out of shape without much attempt to control them...I like Sharpie pens because the thick line, though unforgiving, goes down quickly; I can draw lots of pictures quickly. I stopped being concerned about their awkwardness.â These strategies, he explained, allowed the violent disturbances of Heirensâs psyche to be articulated through trembling visual designs, a fitting marriage of style and subject." - Light Industry
