REVE(A)LING: FEMINIST ART
An Annual Juried Exhibition
March 2-13, 2009
Opening Reception: March 2, 4:00pm
Location: The 123 Gallery in the Johnson Center at George Mason University
"Feminist art is art with a message, not simply art by women. It is art
that talks about crucial issues where the subject matter can be as
important as the medium. Because gender affects every aspect of human
experience, feminist art deals with but is not limited to issues such as
the human body, race, class, sexuality, capitalism, globalization,
politics, power and domination, and beauty."
Aaron and I each have one piece in the show.
I have also been informed that I will be receiving a prize as the creator of one of the top three submissions!!! Yay :)

Painting Troubles
It has been a while since I have posted.
It is turning out to ba a very busy semester, and I just don't have enough time to do everything that I need to...
But here are my most recent works.
This is "Death" at the moment. I am fairly pleased, but there are issues...
And here is "Famine." Not finished, but it;s a start.
Here are some of the problems I am having:
I am having issues reconciling the image that I have made in Photoshop, with the image in my mind, and the one I am creating on the canvas.
I don’t think that my paint application is in dialogue with the content. I also don’t think that the colors/light source make sense at the moment with either image.
Next course of action:
Let paint dry, sand down the images I have, and work with glazing technique from there. I really enjoy the bright Pop colors, the composition and the concept. I need to work on my understanding of the craft I am using, and make a decision about the sources I am using.
I WORK BETTER WHEN I AM PAINTING FROM LIFE!!!!
I need to start collecting relevant objects and setting up scenes to paint…eg. A baby-doll to put on the pony and some bright pink fabric to drape in the background etc.
I am very frustrated with painting at the moment.
I would like to start working on my Graphic Novel: The Amazing Adventures of Androgynous Android Girl!
I want to research how to make a doll that will pose and hold positions like a manikin. I need to make a large model, hopefully 3 or 4 feet tall so I can use it to paint from!
I am inclined to move in the direction of dropping traditional “painting” and starting to work on building sets for paintings. Once I have objects to work from, I will paint them.

Pieces up on Jury Review Online™
I have recently submitted three works, "Prophecy in Pink," "Identity Theft," and "Past_Present_Future" at http://juryreview.com/. The website holds juried exhibitions online, and I will be reviewed within the February 2009 Painting Category for the ArtDeadline.Com International Art Awards.

Past_Present_Future
Past_Present_Future is a multiple self portrait, illuminating the three sisters of Time. The piece invites us to reflect on our place in an ever changing world where history is soon forgotten, and the future steps in stride with the choices we make during the present.
