EYEING MEDUSA
January 21, 2023 - April 28, 2023
Amanta Scott, Medusa’s Rage, Impressions of Autumn Peltier. Encaustic on canvas and panel, 40”X40” (framed).
Eyeing Medusa celebrates visionary women of all ages, orientations, cultures and walks of life making a difference in our world today. Each painting’s title and story parallels a legendary heroine with a contemporary woman. By fusing the past with the present, I invite viewers to look at women in a new light and consider these artworks as a means to illuminate and address urgent social issues such the global increase in racist and sexual assaults on women; LGBTQ2S+ and people of colour; the undermining of women’s rights; and our looming environmental crisis. -Amanta Scott
About the Artist:
