In celebration of Women’s History Month, Women-Made presents diverse approaches to concepts of femininity and gender roles. Curated by Andrea Arroyo, the show features works by Dindga McCannon, Jessica Lagunas and Margaret Peot.
Dindga McCannon is a Harlem-born painter, printmaker, muralist, author, illustrator and educator. She presents one-of-a-kind art quilts and mixed media works made of fabric, thread, metal, paper, paint, and found objects. She incorporates a variety of materials into intricate layers of texture and color, in works that commemorate well-known and everyday women.
Jessica Lagunas is a New York-based Guatemalan artist. Lagunas presents two series of collages on vintage prints. Her work deals with the condition of women in contemporary society, questioning their obsessions with body image, beauty, sexuality and ageing.
Margaret Peot is a book artist, printmaker, painter and writer. She is the author of Make Your Mark: Explore Your Creativity and Discover Your Inner Artist. She’s presenting Altered Inkblots, a series of elaborate swirls of ink, modified with color pencils to uncover a startling world of fantastic imagery.
