| 关于此艺术家 |
Some artists make art about art. Some artists make art about life. I fall into the latter category. I make art about my life experiences as a large middle aged matron. I also carry on a conversation with art history by incorprating the works of the artists of the past into my work. Their works are painted into mine to compare and contrast their lives and artistic purposes with my life and artistic purposes. Where they might present images of women for purposes of form, of decoration and of sexual fantasy, I present myself as I am, usually without clothing.
Making self-portraits has been a means for accepting myself as I am. Exposing the image of my large-sized body to the world is also a challenge to a society that defines and evaluates woman based upon her appearance. It further challenges the 'fat slob' stereotypes applied to people of size. Sizable people are no more stupid, lazy, undisciplined, sick, slovenly, or ugly than the population as a whole. Emphasizing my conception of beauty in these increasingly complex paintings is my way of negating such stereotypes.
