Counihan Gallery in Brunswick, 26 February - 29 March, 2015

With Her Feet Off the Ground brings together the work of four female artists that depict the female form in a state of flux. In the absence of a cultural language that fully defines the female subject, the artists in this exhibition epict women entangled, suspended and immersed. This literal state of flux acts as a metaphor for the ambiguous and undefined spaces that feminine identity occupies in an incomplete cultural knowledge.
