Who’s Afraid of a Florida Woman?

Who’s Afraid of a Florida Woman is a collection of poetry, drawings, and artwork documentation from Molly Colleen O’Connell. Over the past 15 years, Molly has created a rich history and collection of comics, sculptures, airbrushed apparel, self-published zines, printed ephemera, performances, writing and video works.

Johanna Maierski and Stefanie Leinhos edited this collection, focused on Molly’s “poety” and sketchbook work, but also offering dense glimpses into a few selected bigger projects, like the Troll Monologue, a performance tour in which Molly presented in full troll costume, including detailed facial prosthetics, or Extra Extra Extra, an installation for the group show Chicago Comics: 1960s to Now, curated by Dan Nadel and presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in 2021.
