Current Exhibition

"The Aviatrix" is an extraordinarily striking series of three-dimensional hanging works that celebrate the remarkable and incredible female pioneers of early aviation. Each captivating piece is carefully crafted on luxurious fabrics such as rich velvet, intricately sewn with elements like feathers, delicate lace, fine leather, and other exquisite embellishments that beautifully evoke the essence and spirit of flight. Drawing profound inspiration from the real-life heroines of the early 20th century, the artworks encapsulate the spirit of adventure, bravery, and resilience in a stunning visual narrative. The confident expression of a pilot in vintage aviation attire, complete with classic leather headgear and protective goggles, reflects a historical narrative that honors those courageous individuals who dared to push boundaries and challenge societal norms. A warm, earthy palette pairs harmoniously with an aged map background, symbolizing both literal journeys across the skies and the broader exploration of the human spirit. The subjects are the focal point, representing hope, unwavering determination, and a quest for freedom. Natural feathers at the bottom edge create a tactile connection to the theme of liberation, merging the realms of art and nature, and reminding viewers of humanity's intrinsic desire to explore, innovate, and transcend limitations.
