Annual Juried Show for the Women's Caucus for Art.
The artwork, “Run Away Brides”, alludes to being immersed in the circumstances life has dealt; but not becoming submerged into concession. The concept is artistically delineated by the creation of lace-like textures using incising techniques on clay board. The figural designs, which compose this “bridal lace”, emphasize the duality of strength and delicacy, simplicity and complexity, intellectual order and emotional impact. Thereby, this engulfing gossamer material references the constraints imposed by societal norms.
