If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Performance, Photography, Video

I am...: "In order to find ourselves we must destroy ourselves. The human race craves the experience."

About my artwork: “Along with our parents, the mass media raised us, socialized us, entertained us, comforted us, deceived us, disciplined us, told us what we could do and told us what we couldn’t. And they played a key role in turning each of us into not one woman but many women – a pastiche of all the good women and bad women that came to us through the printing presses, projectors, and airwaves of America. This has been one of the mass media’s most important legacies for female consciousness: the erosion of anything resembling a unified self.” - Susan J. Douglas

As far as the feminist rant, I think its interesting, the female artists I'm surrounded by have morphed. I guess it's just one more outcome of these cultural inequalities that we all deal with, and the outcome, as I've observed it is this:

Women have become overly intellectual about their work. I believe this has been a coercive effort by the fairer gender to separate themselves from their quilting, crafting, rote past. I'm not complaining or putting you down, but your previous post–didn't need to read any of that to know all of that. I still love your work.

Thanks for the add. By the way my newly- coined term`photo-cultural genius' was meant as a compliment.
Ciao,

Are you still in Vermont? Brad has spoken highly of your work and if you are around Richmond maybe we can look at some work first hand.
Thanks

Sadly the gallery is sometimes behind the times and I want to show them in the space. I am the exhibitions chair now and would love to get another package to take to the members again.
