Peregrine Honig started her professional career with a bang, becoming the youngest artist to have work in the Whitney Museum of American Art's permanent collection at age 22. Since then she has continued to create prints, drawings and sculptures that explore her fascination with society's demand for beautiful people, social anxiety wrought by mass media and the visual manifestation of diseases both physical and mental. Laced is her first solo show in St. Louis, and it features paintings and prints made during Honig's residency in Argentina.
