This novella was written based on Emma Stern's show 'Penny & The Dimes: Dimes 4Evr', her second solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 6 — 30, 2023 at Almine Rech London. 

Emma Stern's work deploys her formal background in traditional oil-on-canvas painting to achieve a kind of contemporary portraiture made possible by 3d software. Using tools intended for game developers to create virtual female models that serve as her subjects, her work emphasizes and exacerbates the apparent inclination towards pornographic (or at least porn-adjacent) representations of women in 3d communities and gaming culture.
