ELIZABETH MCFALLS (Libby) is a Professor of Art and the Department of Art’s Art Foundation Coordinator at Columbus State University. She received her MFA in Printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art (MI) and earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design (OH). Libby’s love of storytelling began in childhood. Having been raised in East Tennessee, she attended the National Storytelling Festival on numerous occasions. She recalls summers spent developing a love and appreciation for oral storytelling; she and her sisters were fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time with extended family that spread five living generations. While her work does not make direct reference to her family history, she creates nonlinear visual narratives that examine issues of loss and family. Her work explores moments that blur the line between fact and fiction, life and death, humour and sorrow, moments that demonstrate the contradiction and complexity of life.

The installation consists of various aspects, such as sound, lighting, soft organic sculptures, tactile surfaces, reflection, and texts put together. The sensations intended for the space is that of a quiet and calming experience with poetic connotations of the great sea. The work was commissioned by and shown at Keppel Arts Education Centre, The National Gallery, Singapore (2017-2019) BETTY SUSIARJO (b. Indonesia) is a mixed-media artist whose work engages with concepts of temporality, materiality and sublimity. She received her MA (Fine Arts) with Distinction from Winchester School of Art, England and her BA (Fine Arts) from Surrey Institute of Arts and Design, England. Influenced by the studies of and the relationships between physics and metaphysics, her work seeks for an awareness of a moment presented in a particular time and space, thus providing a poetic realm for contemplation. https://www.spiltmilkgallery.com/artists#/betty-susiarjo @nationalgallerysingapore . . . #installation #immersiveartexperience #bettysusiarjo #artist #indonesia #nationalgallerysingapore🇸🇬 #spiltmilk #mixed media #supportingwomenartists #internationalcollective #artmatters
'With these two hands' by Alana Hunt is a video of Donald Trump’s hands during his presidential inauguration speech on the 20th of January 2017. Donald Trump is absent. The video is silent. All that remains are Trump’s two hands, cropped on a split screen that moves from left to right with every single gesticulation of his speech. With these two hands is a meditation on the haunting spectre everything these hands are capable of. Above images: three still images from a 17m 58s video by @alanavhunt . . . #donaldtrump #statevisit #london #trumpukvisit #antitrumpprotest #hands #videoart #alanahunt #artasactivisim #spiltmilk #womenagainsttrump
“A significant part of an artist’s work consists of generating content through research and accumulating related experience. When an artist becomes a parent, s/he adopts to the new circumstances that his or her child brings to life. If the artist is the child’s primary caretaker, the majority of his/her waking hours are spent at home with a child. Suddenly, domestic activities become an outsized part of the artists research and experience. The series is my reflection on the time and effort spent working in the kitchen on a daily basis. I wanted to translate into art objects that reflects the quality and quantity of work conducted in the kitchen.” KimyiBo’s average time spent in the kitchen: 2 hours and 40 minutes a day (preparing food, feeding children, cleaning food dropped on floor, drawing kitchen art.) KimyiBo’s husbands average time spent in the kitchen: 1 hour and 20 minutes a day (mostly cleaning). According to OECD statistics based on National Time Use Surveys, a French woman’s average time spent for the preparation of food is 1 hour and 6 minutes a day. A South Korean woman’s is 31.7 minutes a day. A French man’s is 18 minutes a day. A South Korean man’s time spent for the preparation of food is unknown but the average time spent on domestic work including laundry, cleaning, childcare is 45 minutes, being the lowest among the OECD countries. KimyiBo is an artist/mother, educator/artist, Korean/American/migrant living in Switzerland. These slash identities connect her with metaphysical themes such as tensions, transformation, multi-dimensionality, simultaneity, and migration. Thus the space she creates through drawing, printmaking, and installation become a metaphoric place where the visual elements and logic play out such scenarios. @kimyibo.art

#Repost @thegreatwomenartists with @get_repost ・・・ Wow. In 1998 Portuguese born artist Paula Rego created a series of work entitled “Untitled. The Abortion Pastels.” ✨ These harrowing and brave works were created in response to a referendum to legalise abortion in Portugal, which was very narrowly defeated. Each canvas depicted the image of a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion. The events we have witnessed in Alabama are disgusting, women must have a choice. Thanks for posting @maisiecousins 🖤 • #PaulaRego #WomenArtists
