I Love You, I Love You Not

The Passage of Time 2005 to present: A series of collages created at the turn of the millennium which reflect on social, cultural and political issues. At that time the achievements made on reproductive women rights, marriage equality, and minority & human rights all seemed to indicate that we were finally moving forward in big strides.
The Passage of Time 2019 to present: Today I again visit this series of collages. Incorporating the calendar, which represents the passage of time inside an iconic puzzle, I reflect on the widespread changes that are moving us backward rather than forward in the middle of a still-killer pandemic. Sharp political division looks to severely divide Americans: dictating women’s rights over their bodies, oppressing gay education at schools, halting progressive changes to help minimize climate change, even prohibiting the showing the nude figures in art venues. It seems we now live in a nation that almost childishly changes its clothes on a whim (or every time a political party comes into office) and simply refuses to grow up.
THE ART OF SENSUALITY
March 19-April 9, 2022
ART GALLERY 21, INC.
Island City Cultural Center
600 NE 21 Court
Wilton Manors, FL 33305
Special Gallery Hours:
Friday 4-7 PM
Saturday 12-6 PM and by appt.
Art Gallery 21 will present an exhibit of work from three local artists, all American-Latinex, born in Venezuela and Cuba. The essence of the exhibit is to explore art and sensuality through the lens of the artists who are immigrants and bi-cultural. Their work depicts a search for purity, purpose, stability and beauty, a search that is deep-rooted in their experience as American-Latinex immigrants.
