LA Woman
Bale Creek Allen Gallery
January 18–February 17, 2019
Austin
From the Bale Creek Allen Gallery announcement:
The Bale Creek Allen Gallery is pleased to present LA Women a group show of six female artists from Los Angeles whose work embraces such diverse themes as fantasy, myth, dreams, fairytales, race and horror. This exhibition reflects only a minuscule group of artists working in Los Angeles today, however it embodies the general spirit of the LA female artist, one who searches, transforms and resists the status quo of her everyday world. Participating artists: Tami Demaree, Tanya Haden, Bettina Hubby, Alexia Lewis, Shelli Tollman, Marnie Weber.
Hubby on her series:
How do I want to feel when I look at myself? How do I want others to feel when they see me? Joy would be a good goal. What makes me joyous? What makes others joyous? Looking at the beauty and joy of animals is one possibility. I did a photo shoot of myself jumping in an idyllic setting, and then digitally collaged cats, dogs, kangaroos, birds, and butterflies in as my jumping companions. As I look at these images, my subconscious mind associates me in the same way as I see the animals. Joy may result. It's not-so subliminal advertising.
