LECTURE

Judy Fox
Friday, February 8, 7pm

Judy Fox is known for her exquisitely rendered children that are at once iconic, psychological and subversive. In installation, arrays of mythic types suggest contemporary sociological issues. At the same time, the sensual rendering of the poised figures enforces an emotional confrontation with vulnerable individuals, naked and exposed.

Snow White and the Seven Sins is a bold dive further into the human mental theatre. The scene combines the violence and dreaminess of the medieval tale with the playful animation of the cartoon. The dwarfs' graphic anatomical display suggests the life surging beneath the frozen shell they attend. Amidst the tangled hopes and fears of expiring childhood, emerges the strange connection between romance and physiology, longing heart and pulsing primordial flesh.
