IMAGES OF MOTHERS
May 9 - June 13, 2008
Thousands of images of Mothers, dating back to 30,000 BC, have been found across Europe. These ancient primordial mother figures and images represent the eternal creativity of women and of Mother Earth herself.
Following this theme Marylin Zimmerwoman and Winner of Best in Show enlightened and entertained her audience with thoughts about motherhood, women and relationship in general, during the opening reception on Friday, May 9.
Juror, Laura Whitesides Host, put an interesting show together. Not only can we see the serious side of motherhood, but also humorous interpretations of what it means to be a mother. This was a challenging subject for the artist. For although we all have mothers and unique relationships with them, the show is far from sentimental. The result is a very strong, powerful, and moving display of women who fulfill one of the most essential roles in human existence: to nuture, grow, and love only to release in the
end the children they have protected and cherished.
|
| The work ranges from assemblage, jewelry, oil and watercolor paintings, drawings, a life size tri-fold panel, digital print, encaustic, sculpture, and photography. First prize went to Marylin Zimmerwoman, Second to Erika Chappuis, third to Joe Gohl. For a full list of the participants, please click here. Come to the new Grosse Pointe Art Center for this wonderful, memorable exhibit. |
