Four Seasons: Helice Wen, Jocelyn Tsaih, Chelsie Kirkey, Olympia Altamir, Tracy Piper
The complexities of female desire, identity, emotions, and intimacy can often be oversimplified or unrepresented entirely. The artists will examine the nuances of sexuality and present their take on the subject matter. Four Seasons will be a rejection of that precedent and a celebration of self. Like the fours seasons, our identity, and encompassing needs (physical, mental, emotion, sexual, etc) are an ecosystem in itself and in constant flux.
The work presented will explore the cultural expectations put on women and the evolution of self discovery many make as they come to understand what their own womanhood means to them. Symbolic flora as well as specific gestures are used in many of the pieces to represent different emotions related to this continuous process of introspection.
