A first sampling of new artwork…
From Victoria Lockard:
Some words about these works:
To be a female human today includes forced worship in the cult of visual beauty. One must still look cute while carrying pepper spray in a dark parking lot. If mermaids were real, their underwater lives would be at least as dangerous, beautiful, lonely and dramatic as our land-women lives are. They would have rich inner lives and complex cultural languages that I do not see depicted in either historic or current mermaid art.
I work primarily in linoleum relief printmaking, along with drawing, collage, and digital illustration. Through these media I explore and express figural landscape scenes, ambiguous narratives, textures and tonality. All images were first imaginative sketches built up on paper followed by Adobe Photoshop before reaching their final state. These linocuts were printed on a Vandercook letterpress on acid free paper at the AS220 Community Printshop.
