"Female Sensibilities" (Diptych)

from $40.00
Material:
Size:
Framing:

NOTE: While the size above indicates the dimensions of each piece of the dyptich (2), the price indicates the total cost of the set.

Softness and strength
Endurance and audacity

The rivers that tie us all together
In one coherent story of woman

Making a way in both the wasteland and the paradise.

-----

Two or three months ago, a friend was cleaning out her storage and gave me a collection of old newspapers. It was six or seven volumes of original papers from Winston Salem, North Carolina printed in the late 1800’s.

The pages had a deep patina and were starting to crumble around the edges.

Two weeks ago, I was carefully flipping through the volume from 1899, noticing the peculiar differences between the old newspapers in my hands and the ones we read today. One thing especially struck me:

The ads that were targeted toward women.

While I read the headlines and persuasive text, I was both giggling at how ridiculous it was and frustrated that anyone ever thought of women this way. I felt belittled. Pitied. Incapable. And a victim of my biology.

I love old things (whether I agree with their sentiment or not), especially when I can preserve them and tell a story at the same time. That’s why I created “Female Sensibilities” using those advertisements.

This painting is a refusal to let others assume my limits because of my femininity.

Whether you're a woman or not, I know there's a part of this you can relate to. A part of your identity that is unfairly judged. I hope this painting gives you as much joy and empowerment as it did me.
