pixerina WITCHERINA

Curated by Bill Conger

February 20 - April 1, 2001

Pixerina Witcherina  consists of works by women who address transformative forces, mythic location, and fairy-tale influence. Taking its title from an imaginary language that Virginia Woolf created to converse secretly with her niece, the work in  Pixerina Witcherina  transforms the representational assumptions of the narrative into whimsically abstracted visual yarns that thrive on a sense of storytelling. Ironically, the work of these women embraces the power of myth while deconstructing it, building feminine divinity for the contemporary age.
