Description
"Consulting The Ancestors" by Amy E. Fraser.
This painting is part of a series of provocative paintings exploring the Female Experience. These works were created from a young woman’s experiences, confronting Feminist, Womanist and Humanist topics of personal and global interest in the mid to late 90’s. The series leans toward dark, surrealistic, symbolic and highly stylized feminine imagery. It covers a wide emotional spectrum exploring the value placed on female fertility, intellect, strength, beauty and the sexuality of women. These extremely personal works question the artist's position as well as women in the world at large. The goal of the work was to ignite a conversation toward awareness and change, to discuss what it means to be female and how we can continue to redefine and improve perception and conditions.
