Emma Stern: Penny & The Dimes
‘Penny and the Dimes’, a fictional all-girl rock band, created digitally and then meticulously painted on canvas inspired by a trip Emma Stern took to Stockholm where she visited the ABBA Museum.
Penny, Brandi, Destiny and Daisy are shiny silver-bodied rock goddesses, they knee slide in front of amp stacks, hold the mic out to the crowd, straddle drum sets and stand on monitors.
They’re passed out in hangover-hell hotel rooms, they’re clinking champagne glasses in the back of a limo.
They were, after all, Penny & Dimes and it was after all showtime.
Emma Stern spent the past few years mentally composing a short story around the all-female rock band in her latest show Penny & The Dimes - to me, a 4Ever World Tour - unmissable!
