When Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One害羞草研究所檚 Own, she explained her premise - 害羞草研究所渁 woman must have money and a room of one害羞草研究所檚 own if she is to write fiction.害羞草研究所�
She wrote this in 1929 following on the heels of the great novels where women had principal roles but very little agency or bargaining power other than their beauty.
These female characters created by men 害羞草研究所� Tolstoy害羞草研究所檚 Anna Karenina, Grushenka in Dostoyevsky害羞草研究所檚 The Idiot, Balzac害羞草研究所檚 La Cousin Bette, or Zola害羞草研究所檚 Nana cross between re-enactments of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden when woman tempts man to his demise or a tragedies that result in the death of the female, often at the hands of a jilted lover. Too often when man said 害羞草研究所測es害羞草研究所�, he entered a sphere where he was bound for ruin and when woman said 害羞草研究所渘o害羞草研究所�, she was made to suffer.
A Studio of One害羞草研究所檚 Own, the exhibition by Lake Country local Wanda Lock, runs from Jan. 11 to Feb. 25 opens with a reception at 6 p.m., Jan. 11.
This exhibition demonstrates where a woman can go to when she has the liberation of an open slate and place to work. Lock works from a large well-lit studio that is attached to her home in Lake Country. She graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1992 and moved back to the Okanagan soon after where she has pioneered her unique imagery influenced by grunge music and coming-of-age movies.
Lock exhibits across Canada. Her latest body of multi-media works are based on the covers of harlequin romance novels. Lock害羞草研究所檚 mother having been a fan of the genre, she grew up with these idealized images of what a woman could expect from romance.
Headbones introduces this new series from Lock with earlier works where she used herson, then a young teen, as a model. These large, accomplished, emotive paintings of her offspring bring the fulfillment of mothering into the visual arena, according to the gallery.
Lock will be in attendance at the reception at Headbones Gallery, at 6700 Old Kamloops Road, in Vernon.
