Wings From Chains
Wonder Woman and a
little girl do laundry. Stock images of a 1950s housewife are printed on an
apron. A woman emerges from a flower whose petals are gray flatirons. Such
comic images of domestic emancipation are commonplace in “Wings From Chains,”
organized by the Athenaeum on the occasion of the national meeting of the
Women’s Caucus for Art last month in Washington.
The 14 local
artists’ contributions are well made and often witty, even if some of the jibes
appear dated. A collaged landscape has mountains made of female nudes, probably
cut from magazines such as Playboy, whose “philosophy” is little studied these
days. And although statistics indicate that women still do more housework than
men, washing and ironing are perhaps not as central as they once were.
More contemporary
are Ann Stoddard’s series of headscarves and wedding veils, demonstrating
shared aspects of Muslim and Western women’s garb, and Cherie Redlinger’s
charcoal of a female figure, altered by breast-cancer surgery yet essentially
intact. It’s one of the simplest pieces here, and one of the most powerful.
Wings From Chains Was On view through March 13, 2016 at the Athenaeum, 201 Prince St.,
Alexandria
