Portraits of the Artists as Young Girls
This installation by Carol Hamoy exemplifies her
ongoing interest in -her-story,- or a recording of
women's lives. The work focuses on female
artists and their childhood decisions to involve
themselves in art. Little girls' bouffant dresses
fashioned of paper and hung from the ceiling
represent selected individuals.
Each dress bears a photograph of a particular
artist at the age of five, reproduced on the
bodice. Flags divulging the names of other
women artists are interspersed among the
dresses. As viewers walk around and among the
dainty garments they will experience a sense of
memory as well as vision. Curated by Judy
Collischan, Ph.D., Neuberger Museum of Art
Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs, and
funded, in part, by the Friends of the Neuberger
Museum of Art.
