Her latest exhibition, entitled Too Good To Be True presents a kind of 'pilgrim's progress' in which Hovnanian's iconic Beauty Queen Totem makes her way in the world, moving from one stage of beauty-based thralldom to another.
As both a pop culture embodiment of ideal beauty and a prize for achieving it, we see the Beauty Queen disciplining herself to endure the privations of beauty like an athlete in training; on the career track, facing a different kind of competition than on the runway; and at home, ambushed by the realities of marriage and domesticity.
