EXHIBITION The Big Red Chair Project Eve Page Mathias DATES: MAY 6 - AUG 13 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Cowell Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION "There once was a big red chair in my living room. My sweet old dog, Luna, enjoyed sitting up on the back of it so she could look out the window. Luna passed, and the chair got old, too. Because this chair means a lot to me, I pushed it into my studio. It is a reassurance as I work that mv little one is still there and that there are cherished triends to come. This chair anchored me. It has become a symbol of where my place in the world was during the Covid crisis. Now, when I ask someone to sit in the red chair, it "connects the dots" between those missing moments when was separated from mv friends and loved ones. Then we all emerged and came back together. When it was okay to see folks and the mist cleared, we were allowed to see each other again... I began a project of portraits of my dear female friends. Why only women? I think it was because I missed them the most. I puzzled over this because also treasure my triends who are male, and certainl) would like to paint them. Maybe it is because there is the yearning - the aching of the soul - that I perceive as a part of the female psyche. This was a good place to start because it is where resonate as a female person. But I also missed myself as an individual, a unique human being. During Covid one was only a cipher, not someone interesting. We were all just "Things" with masks who might possibly be a spreader of the disease. or worse, die. We were reduced to robots doing our jobs on a digital platform, being parents who couldn't permit our expressions of love because we were afraid we could make our children sick. I taught at the college level and suddenly had to reduce my persona into a voice on a computer monitor. This is not healthy for a person who thrived by human contact. Thus, the Big Red Chair Project began." Eve Page Mathias https://www.tritonmuseum.org/bigredchairproject "My Queen" Previous Next

EXHIBITION Dis/Armed Julie Grantz DATES: AUG 26 - DEC 30 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Cowell Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As I initially began to conceptualize this body of work, my working title was “Smaller.” In our society, I strongly believe that women feel pressure to limit their self-expression. This resonates deeply with my own journey. Throughout my life, I've carried the weight of constantly needing to make myself smaller, fading into the background and silencing my voice—not only to navigate the world but also to fit into the lives of others. I've often felt like a burden, unintentionally occupying the space meant for others. This idea of becoming smaller for survival is woven from a narrative that highlights the importance of conforming to the role of a compliant and well-behaved “good girl” as the only way to be accepted and successful. According to this archetype, the “good girl” should be quiet, polite, and avoid seeking her own desires. The drive to shrink oneself isn't just rooted in the “good girl” philosophy; it's also fueled by a desire for control propagated by a society that expects women to be unassuming, obedient, and rule-abiding. These tight boundaries stifle our potential, suppress our ambitions, and mute our voices, diminishing our dreams and muting the vibrance of our imaginations. Over the past year, as I dedicated myself to creating more and more drawings for this body of work, I noticed a distinct change: a shift in the story being told. The narrative extended beyond just my sense of Smaller . Some of the pieces, gestures, and symbols began conveying something entirely different—some even grew louder, asserting themselves. I started to feel the emergence of my voice, rising distinctly, confidently, and audibly. As this evolution unfolded before me, I aimed to find a title that captured the juxtaposition between past trauma and current growth, along with the duality of living a life of both merely surviving and flourishing within each day. My aim is to reveal and share the emotional spaces where I've felt disarmed by life's challenges, as well as how I've learned to arm myself, to protect and empower myself. My experiences of feeling disarmed exposed me to vulnerability and defenselessness in the face of life's trials. While my journey has included trauma, my journey hasn't only been about vulnerability; it's been a path to empowerment. Through my artistic expression, I want to highlight the moments of transformation where I've intentionally armed myself against both internal and external adversaries. I have strived to capture not only the conflicts but also the victories—instances when I've crafted my own armor from resilience, self-awareness, and determination. As I have come to realize that my voice isn't quiet or “smaller," it confidently reverberates within my work. As my confidence in my voice grows, so too has the scale of my drawings. By exploring these emotional landscapes, I hope for the work to connect with others on their own paths through disarmed vulnerability to armed self-empowerment as new voices grow from within.
