The gallery is located at 2835 Main Street, Bridgehampton NY. The website for RJD is rjdgallery.com.
During this time 3 separate shows will be going on. They are:
4. I know you just won the Bennet Prize, which was a group show of sorts. Do you prefer group shows?
6. I know your work has a lot of symbolism. Could you talk about one or two of your favorite uses of it in these pieces?
Here is some of the Symbolism in “Ascend”:
To ascend means to move upwards, to rise, to become higher and more noble. The butterflies surrounding the woman are a symbol of transformation and freedom. These winged creatures possess the ability to change and evolve and must go though many phases to become the exquisite creatures that they are. They leave the safety of their cocoon to venture out into an unknown world and discover their own potential. This art piece is about finding the courage to explore untapped realms of our lives. The women in this portrait is reaching outside of the cocoon of her own fears and trusting her own untested wings.
The feature photograph is of Margo’s contribution to the show.
Aneka has the three images below in the show.
