This mural depicts a female figure, surfacing in green/aqua water reminiscent of Hudson Valley swimming holes. The word “kill” (from the Middle Dutch kille meaning riverbed or water channel) references the myriad bodies of water of the region. The mural is an extension of French’s studio practice; her paintings reflect on the nostalgia of summers spent in the water, calling to mind the quiet tranquility of nature, of days spent sinking and floating, still and peaceful. The piece plays with both painterly abstraction and hyper-realism, depending on the viewer’s perspective and proximity to the image.
