Artist Olivia Mole discusses her work for the exhibition Lifes, a group of ten hand-drawn, mischievous characters.

“It didn’t feel right to produce one mascot for such a multitudinous show, so I decided to gather an assembly of disparate characters I had devised for previous projects. . . They organically formed a collective that mirrors the group of artists in the show, inhabiting a parallel space.” —Olivia Mole via Artforum
