Powerful Bodies
Powerful Bodies consists of works from Alexis Finnie-Jenkins, Cam King, Jaz Bryant, Li Cai Yi, Maria Christina De la Cruz and Victoria Lupian. These artists have created works that have a similar focus on self identity, the body and topics of femininity. While each subject matter varies, the concept of appreciation and exploration are commonalities in several of the works. The body is a strong and emotional point of ambivalence, being the obvious subject of feelings both negative and positive. Powerful Bodies is both appreciative and reflective; passive and interrogatory. Powerful Bodies is not only in reference to the physical body, but also is in reference to movement and body present in other works within this assortment such as the vibrating artist in Cam King’s work, Pleasure Investigation.
