Graham also discussed the source of his inspiration in his speech. When a preacher visited his North Carolina farming village, Graham became inspired, at the age of sixteen, to "open [his] heart to Jesus Christ and experience a revolution, becoming a new person...

Combining photography, painting and computer manipulation, each piece is a wicked homage, turning art history into a gilded vanity mirror. In his new show at New York City's Luhring Augustine Gallery, the farce is lavish and precise, as Morimura continues his wry, gender-bending ways...
