From the Catalogue Introduction:
“Access: A Feminist Perspective is a
sampler, a diverse mix of 28 artists who add to the dialogue
recognizing the great artistic and cultural influence of women
today and down through the ages. Female energy has experienced
untold slings and arrows, yet it remains the glue holding the
matrix of civilization together. And in the following pages
you will see artists whose talents pay homage to and take inspiration
from this positive feminine force, using art as a medium and
as a message.
This exhibition explores feminist critique,
beginning with work by artists inspired by women or inspired
by feminist analysis as pertains to the word "access",
and extending to its impact on subject matter as in the use
of territory and place; role models and identity; body parts
and self image; and spiritual commentary and re-gendering.
The artists in this show use their technical
and visual skills to enlighten us, humor us, and invite us into
a narrative of their own making. What we hope you see in their
works is a consciousness informed by personal inspiration and
self-reflection, including ethical and philosophical overtones.
Their aesthetic invites us to revisit our assumptions, widen
our understanding of the questions, the answers, the possibilities
of access - and redefine a context for what we value.”
