The Veil Wears Thin

The theme of the all-women jam at ArtCetera (formerly the Red Barn Gallery) (@artceterastudio43) was ‘the veil wears thin’, suggestive of liminal states and places that samhain brings to mind (HMC). Kerrie Hanna’s (@kerriehanna) interpretation of the theme was to support the women (in Iran and elsewhere) who were cutting their hair as a form of protest at the death of Mahsa Amini by the “Guidance Patrol” or “Morality Police” for wearing her hijab improperly (CNN | EuroNews | WP).

Also shown in today’s post are the works by Wee Nuls (@wee.nuls) – Free Period Items and one of her trademark “gremlins”, Harriet Myfanwy (@myfanwynia) – a centaur, Arú Roncada (@arububu) – a representation of the five elements. Also taking part (but whose works are not shown here) were @artist.zippy, @hmconstance, and Ariana Lupascu (@contemplatingthestars). With support from @Outlines Art Supplies.

The ‘free period items’ piece – and the controversy surrounding its original location – was described previously in About Bloody Time.
