A strange and evocative poem by the artist and writer Leanne Shapton. In an extensive series of her abstracted b&w watercolors based on paparazzi images of Princess Diana stepping out of cars a loving and poignant study emerges. 

In Cars: On Diana is about photography, fidelity, facsimile, and where to hold the beheld. Exploring themes of celebrity and identity, examining her iconography and meaning in gesture and form.
