Women in Abstraction

I was honored to have been selected for the New Art Center’s exhibit, “Women in Abstraction”, at The Trio in Newton, MA. It was great to meet so many of the exhibiting artists as well as the curator, Destiny Palmer, at the opening reception. Getting to experience the works in person was amazing!

Here is a Statement from the Curator:

“Women in Abstraction responds to recent exhibitions highlighting abstract art by focusing on women who are typically underrepresented in the artistic canon. Why does that matter? It matters when the experiences of some aren’t included in the narrative of abstraction, so when we talk about creating, processes, and concepts, we’ve often missed many opportunities to expand our views. Historians and curators for the last two decades have worked tirelessly to expand the field and our understanding of abstraction, in relation to material, mark-making, color, and narrative. Women in Abstraction is a microcosm of this global conversation. This exhibition looks at our local community to explore the nuances of abstraction. Process, practice, and concept are at the center of these works. While viewing this exhibition, consider those three things to shift what you know about abstraction.”
