UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL

Curator Michele Cairella, Gallery Director at Fullerton College, selected works for the "Curator's Choice" exhibition, Up Close And Personal from the SCWCA artists' slide registry.

Curator's Statement

Each work chosen represents a personal aspect of the artist; a clear representation of the personal risk they each take in creating their art; letting down their guard; exposing themselves to the viewer; allowing themselves to share themselves with the observer. Each artwork chosen represents an aspect, a part, of the definition of what it is to be woman; whether through humor and self-analysis, domesticity, motherhood or pregnancy, love, loss and relationships, or as citizen of the world; the definition of woman is exhibited here. Not only is the person exposed, but, in many cases, she is up close and personal, subtle and forceful, revealing and pious, peaceful and angry; an amalgamation of what it is to be woman, up close and personal.
