In this sculptural jar series, the artist draws on iconography surrounding nature, women and the history of Western art to question our place in the order of things. Women and nature have been subjugated to the whims of those in power for centuries; by highlighting this connection through pastiche and surface decoration, she offers an alternative narrative. In the most apparent manifestation, Creation Myth, the artist forces the examination of an age-old story: that God is a man, and man is first. By centering women, the artist’s primary effort is to cement women’s place in the canon. References to artists like Michaelangelo and Matisse draw connections across time to highlight the thread that binds.
