Plumb Boobs Mixed media - wool, steel 6 x 6 x 4 feet 2009

The materials are chunky Icelandic â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubble gum pinkâ&#x20AC;? yarn knitted into forms for boobs; and powered coated steel stands to serve as gravity reminders. The weigh and direction of gravity, plumb lines using plumb bobs. This work is part of my vision: to gently direct people towards an understanding of the feminist journey. I employ many feminine forms from my symbolic lexicon ranging from the actual body to more abstracted forms such as Plumb Boobs.

About

Exhibition Catalog for "VISION". Envision, conceive of, imagine . . . In this turbulent time of political changes, women's rights, social, racial, gender and economic inequality, global conflicts, cultural instability, reproductive choice/health care issues, and environmental challenges of overconsumption and resource scarcity - how do we effect positive change through art? How do we listen, speak our minds, include, and act in collaboration or alone across generational differences, races, identities and cultures, to build our future, locally and globally? VISION seeks to bring self-identified women artists into dialogue, retracing an account of the past manifesting in the present, to address major social themes, to define and bring forth what is important to themselves, their families, their communities, our nation and the world at large with art that either reflects on past injustices or focuses on a vision for a more positive, empowering future.
