Creator's notes: The work depicts four characters from the television show Carnival Row: Imogen Spurnrose, Vignette Stonemoss, Tourmaline Larou, and Sophie Longerbane. Each represents vastly differing facets of the fictional society, and different roles that women in the society could inhabit and strive for or beyond. Imogen starts out as a spoiled, narrow-minded society woman who, through circumstance and her own capacity, manages to extend herself and develop far beyond her original station. Vignette becomes radicalized through personal loss, disillusionment, and the persecution of her people. Tourmaline represents both pragmatism and poetry in her attempts to survive on Carnival Row. Sophie uses manipulation, cunning, seduction, and deception to gain power and move through the world.

Comments
The television show Carnival Row explores a variety of relevant political and social movements; there are themes of xenophobia, displacement, immigration, refugeeism, justice, family, legacy, and more. The show contains layers upon layers, and multiple rewatches reveal new secrets each time. I felt that the Classical Group #4 painting best represented the characters from the show, and therefore used it as inspiration for my own work, transposing characters from the show over the four original persons in Lester Johnson's painting. In order from left to right: Imogen Spurnrose, Vignette Stonemoss, Tourmaline Larou, and Sophie Longerbane.
