With an irresistible momentum and superflat dimensionality, the staple-bound Raindrops & Broken Hearts darts between haptic closeups and cosmic zoom-outs of its titular teary iconography. A dizzying, glitzy maelstrom of other graphic symbols also join the fray, with clear-cut diamonds, lightning rays, musical notation, hyperbolic typography, barbed wire, disco balls, and galactic planets and constellations swirling into each other. Almost obsessively detailed and patterned, this risograph-printed tempest interrupts its predominately neon pink, electric yellow-green, and stark black color scheme with flickers of white. With superb linework and dramatic contrast, Perry relentlessly pushes the beholder along bedazzled, activated pages. Densely composed and deftly sequenced, this visual thunderstorm floods the eyes in a riot of irreverent glitter.

“Hard-edged, metal objects such as barbed wire and chain link fences are embedded within a delicate and soft emotional landscape of flowers, hearts and faux eyelashes. Complex illustrated patterns weave in and out of stark black and white supergraphics. Nostalgia for early 2000’s Myspace emo graphics bleeds out of heavily adorned diamonds, butterflies, razorblades and traditional black metal lettering.” — Quimby’s
