midseventies work. work with photgraphy and family
class issues big part of the work
work conserdd with forground and background
human scale work
pink on pink series poking fun and satirizing Malkovich work
mixing satire and the art world and mundane
dont look at my privacy: reving mistakes through crumbled paper. what is the line between exposure and fairness and the relationship between subject and painter
revisions in work
being seen and being heard as a writer or artist
scratch in words that relate to the painting or contrast it.
fragmentation of speech in personal space
twins: contrast and contradictions
fruoidian and virgin mary contrast
abstract: inperinmence of the possiblities of abscraction in art
influenced by surrealist alterting the space and enviornment to shift the viewers persective
thinking of the paintings as stages living in the wolrd and the contrast of feeling safe or feeling of fear and how that makes you move in the world.
alterting reality: shifting relaity after someone leaves a space
the nostalgia of photos
single mom painting: older stepping back and newer generation stepping forwards
tastleful discussiion o war and art: satirizing the perception of of absract art by highlighing the image as camoflouge.
looking through the world as a stage and looking as the things in life as material as a artist
art of happiness: incorerating modernist an dsurelist paintings in a home where they typically wouldnt be.
mixing the art world and the mundane
repeating words in the background
abstract art: aging as a artist and different phases in life
guerrilla girls: 1985 combating sexism and racism in the art world
posters and type that satirize and critize the artoworld with wheat paste and mops
in soho
tunnel vision through the peresctive of white men the artowlr.
what inspired the guerrilla girls to speak out: inviting artist and owmen from different backgrounds to speak out of a need to do so. "women are anominous enough"
open to whoever
"allice neil"
wanted the message to be about the message rather than the individual
representing the human epeirence rather than indivudal subjects
collaging images to create the background
