SPECIAL RECOGNITION SELECTIONS CHOSEN BY SUZANNE GRAY AND MICHELLE NYE

Picture
​Nellien Brewer
"Phoenix #2"
Digital print on aluminum
24 x 16 inches, 2009
Special Recognition Selection
​From Suzanne Gray: "The artist’s statement 'In these works a decaying leaf becomes a metaphor for the fragility of the victim. Text forms a metaphor for the soul of the victim, which is set free, often only through death.', confirmed for me my initial response to the work. The delicacy of the image is also appealing."
Picture
Emily Dvorin
"Cleanse and Exfoliate"
Deconstructed bath poofs, security ties
9 x 19 x 14 inches, 2015
Special Recognition Selection 
​From Michelle Nye: "For “Cleanse and Exfoliate” the quirky vessel's organic and biological form contrasts with its woven artificial materials, deftly speaking to a range of issues surrounding women's bodies, beauty ideals, environmental pollution, consumerism and the history of women's craft and art."


Picture
Katherine Collins
"Alabaster"
Oil on canvas
20 x 16 inches, 2016
Special Recognition Selection
​From Suzanne Gray: "In addition to being beautifully painted I was inspired to make all kind of associations about the meaning behind the presumably female face hidden or maybe even purposely hiding behind a sheet."
Picture
Beth Fein
"Speak Truth to Power"
Archival pigment print on Japanese kozo paper  (edition of 3)
100 x 44 inches, 2013-2016
Special Recognition Selection
​From Suzanne Gray: "Speak the Truth is a very interesting concept and one which I felt was executed thoughtfully with careful attention to detail. I appreciate the text, the paper and the additional layering of the powerful projected images."
Picture
Lynn Dau
"Disorder"
Found objects
36 x 30 x 35 inches, 2016
Special Recognition Selection
​From Michelle Nye: "In "Disorder" everyday kitchen objects dramatically explode. The result is captivating, eliciting a powerful mix of associates including the rejection of traditional roles of women, the trauma of domestic violence, and the terrorizing impact of war and suicide bombers when they strike so close to home."

Picture
SPOOKY BOOBS COLLECTIVE
"You Stupid Cunt"
Peel and stick removable woven wallpaper
72 x 48 inches, 2015
Special Recognition Selection by 
From Michelle Nye: "With “You Stupid Cunt” we are seduced and affronted in equal measure. The alluring Victorian styled wall paper evokes traditional female roles of home-maker and sex object, especially when looking closely at the vulva shaped pattern. Juxtaposed is the incessantly repeated and ornately scripted word 'cunt,' inviting contemplation on issues such as the insidious aggression towards women and the pervasive objectification and domination of women's bodies.'
