Our little exhibition of women’s art in New Zealand is about midway through now. If you are interested in seeing the works included you can find them on Instagram: @womenremember
Art pictured here from top left is by Nina Paley, Rima Staines, me, Renee Gerlich, Rima Staines, Ruby Constance, Jeanie Tomanek, me, Max Dashu, Nina Paley, Rima Staines, and me. (You can find links to all the artists included in the exhibition in my previous post.)
I’m so excited to reveal that some of my art is being featured in an exhibition at the Otaki Library in New Zealand from 7–28 June.
The Life I Have Not Lived But Can Remember: An Exhibition of Women’s Art is the creation of feminist writer and illustrator, Renee Gerlich, who wanted ‘to offer women a collection of depth and vision, in an age full of superficiality, argument and compromise’.
Reproductions of my art are being shown alongside work by Bec Wonders, Deidra Sullivan, Janet Fraser, Jeanie Tomanek, Joanna Pinkiewicz, Lizzie Yee, Max Dashu, Nina Paley, Rima Staines, Ruby Constance and Renee.
As you can imagine, I’m incredibly honoured to have my work seen beside that of these eleven talented women.
The title of the exhibition resonated strongly, for so much of the art I have been making over the past few years has been exactly that—an exploration of the knowing that what once was may be once more. Bringing the reality of ancient culture, myth and spirituality—which I have not lived, but can remember in my bones—back into memory, with the intention of bringing it back into life also.
I hope to be able to show you some of the exhibition from the inside over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime please follow the links to explore the work of the women artists/writers/culture-makers above. And of course my own art can be found on Redbubble.
Below are the posters I designed, featuring Rainmaker and Our Lady of the Seeds.
