“The arresting title of Nina Mae Fowler’s new composite drawing comes from Marlene Dietrich’s disparaging remark about her contemporary, the famously devout all-American beauty Loretta Young. “Every time she sins, she builds a church. That’s why there are so many Catholic churches in Hollywood…” is her insult in full. Assembling a cast of five of cinema’s most famous female stars, for ‘Every time she sins, she builds a church…’ Nina Mae Fowler pools their experiences to interrogate the culture of women in Hollywood, packaged as fantasies for the world to consume, and all too often consumed themselves in the process. Alternately shocking, sensual and witty, its slipperiness of tone inspires an immediate emotional response that can only be deepened the more you know of their lives. The eye may find a line from a kind of Eve (Kim Novak tempted by her banana split) to Bette Davis’s dying fallen woman in Of Human Bondage (1934) and Marlene Dietrich’s body descending into hell, but arguably there can be no good end for being worshipped on a pedestal as these women were.“
