Womanhouse
“She takes too much space. Also she’s mad. Which has nothing to do with anything. She lives in her own world because she makes the whole world hers.”
Kathy Acker, Eurydice in the Underworld
Womanhouse, recalls the first Feminist Art Program, established by Judy Chicago at California State University (1972), and the installation and performance space that followed, organised together with Miriam Shapiro in the Hollywood mansion. To them and to the many more woman artists whose works have provoked anxiety about the transgression of boundaries - I subscribe. My experience of the world -in a female body- is political, and is too the subject of my art.
A glossary of the feminine is under construction.
A is for Angry
B is for Body
Where does one look for images of middle-aged and older woman not embedded in the culture of siliconed eternal youth?
Properly maintained (2022)
C is for Crone and Crazy
The archetype of a Wise Woman. She, who seeks inner truth (reclaiming of self) and in order to do so, rejects patriarchal societal rules like forced marriages, or the confines of domesticity, asserting autonomy in a world where a woman alone is often seen as impossible or dangerous.
A taste of the wild (2021)
M is for Motherhood
Motherhood is not the path to eternal happiness, it is more like entering the wild thing.
