Olivia- “Faceless Figures”
Acrylic and Embroidery on Canvas
This piece depicts a woman in an elaborate dress with no face and a suited man obscured by a red curtain in a hallway. It uses acrylic paint and embroidery to explore how women have been forgotten and excluded from history. The fading paint and unraveling thread visualizes their literal fading. The embroidery, typically a feminine art, represents the double standards women still face today.
Amy- “Transitional Period”
Colored Pencil on paper
The left side represents a time of darkness in one's life, with a dead flower. The middle represents Hope in restoring one's life. The sun peaking over the dark silt gives hope to the flower, fixing it to a wilted state. The right side represents making it out and using what was once darkness as a support to make its life vibrant.
