UPRISE / ANGRY WOMEN Group Show

Uncategorized

In the aftermath of the unspeakable event that occurred on November 9th, 2016, I found myself in a group show called “Uprise/ Angry Women”, responding to our new political climate. The show consisted of 80 women artists whose work was deeply involved in issues such as women’s rights, race, economics, and the future of this country. I normally don’t care for participating in shows with that many artists, but considering that it was created in response to a fear mongering, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, unpresidential, climate change denying, unqualified, uneducated, narcissist taking the highest office in the country, you’re damn skippy I was going to get involved. I decided to submit my piece “Women’s Troubles” which highlights the dual roles that women have to balance with working full time and being expected to be the caretaker at home.  Unbeknownst to me, I would also be in a show, and an artist talk with Rose McGowan, she was pretty bad ass!

My Finished Piece, “Women’s Troubles”

For those who haven’t seen this piece named “Women’s Troubles” in its entirety on Facebook, Instagram etc., here it is completed. As I may have mentioned before, this piece explores the problems that women face in the workplace and at home. At work, women face issues such as being overlooked for promotions, unequal pay and sexual harassment, while at home they are to assumed to take on all of the domestic duties. Our roles have changed drastically but society still views us as being less than that of our male counterparts, making it very difficult for us to succeed in the workplace.
