My purpose as an artist is to heal the divided feminine in our culture. Well, okay wait, that sounds incredibly cheesy and like something a massage therapist might do at Esalen.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I design for a feminine woman who appreciates art a lot, either as a profession or as a hobby.
I am interested in the art. I'm a professional woman.
I guess professionally I've left my gender open to artistic interpretation.
I go to make art as who I am as a person. The fact that I am a woman comes into play maybe in the kinds of things I'm interested in or in the way I structure a canvas.
We throw at female artists this expectation that their work has to speak to the female experience. And if it doesn't, you're letting the side down. Throwing this stumbling block in the way of female artists is counterintuitive.
It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.
I've always felt that if one was going to take seriously this vocation as an artist, you have to get beyond that decorative facade.
I hope and believe we are paving a better future for female artists to come.
I view myself as a male artist.
Art is feminine.
