Enamored Armor: On View Through February 2
Enamored Armor, featuring Marjan Moghaddam, Mari Ogihara, and Tiantian Li, approaches the female figure as one of power with references inspired by art history, cultural specificity, and contemporary society. The classical figure as a basis, these artists investigate the multiplicity of ways that women choose to present and redefine themselves in pursuit of potency and self-discovery. Through photography, painting, sculpture, and Augmented Reality, their work spans an historical spectrum of millennia with a finger on the pulse of contemporary artistic practice, the women’s empowerment movement, and emerging technologies.
