This tribute to artist Margaret Kilgallen was spotted in Los Angeles in 2014. The quote is paraphrasing what she said during an interview for the PBS program Art21. The full quote reads- “I do spend a lot of time trying to perfect my line work… when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that’s where the beauty is.” Kilgallen died of cancer in 2001, at only 33, but left behind a remarkable body of work.

You can currently see one of these works at Cantor Arts Center’s as part of the group exhibition, Day Jobs, on view until 7/21/24. The exhibition examines the impact of day jobs in the lives and work of several famous artists.

You can learn more about Kilgallen, her husband and fellow artist Barry McGee, and several other artists including Shepard Fairey, Mike Mills, Ed Templeton and Harmony Korine in Aaron Rose’s film Beautiful Losers.

"My board stuck right at the first kink. I dangling-sacked the down part, throwing me forward onto my stomach on the kink at the end of the rail. That flipped me upside down onto my head. I then skidded on my head burning my hair off and finally my neck snapped when my weight came down."

"...Sanded a two-inch square section of hair off of my head..."

Ed Templeton, Broken neck, 2000
