PRBHTN 2023

-

I'm happy to be part of the Lexington Art League's PRBHTN 2023 show. I have two pieces in the show.


The Magnificent Yoni Madonna

Amanda K. Bridges, "The Magnificent Yoni Madonna", (c) 2023

A dedication the divine feminine and power of creation. Woman, as a vessel, creates life. Woman is not a vessel for man. The Yoni Madonna takes back ownership of herself and transforms the message of Madonna from that of being in service of man that of being the creator of humankind. 


Lilith

Amanda K. Bridges, "ode to a whore: the 17 names of Lilith", (c) 2022

A dedication to the much maligned goddess Lilith. Lilith refused to give up her power and submit to the will of man. She fully owned her sexual energy and channeled her power into herself rather than letting it be taken from her. Instead of glorification, she has been vilified throughout history. called a whore, a succubus, an evil temptress, she has been used to represent man's interpretation of "original sin." 

Both of these pieces are part of a larger series of goddesses that I have been working on for the past two years. If you're local-ish to the Lexington area, consider stopping in at LAL. There's a lot to take in!

my new gas baby is finally home! i've named her stella. we started our journey at 9 this morning. here's MSH mike removing the burner system... and removing the chimney. it was rusted so bad i didn't think we were going to get the screws off, but mike is very, very persistent. then he had to climb up on the roof to get the other pieces. mitch showed up with extra help and equipment. ...got her on the truck and headed for home. then the fun began! mitch had already decided the easiest way was to lift her into the back yard... drive thru the tight areas... and then pick her up from the other side. it was a bit of a challenge getting things to line back up correctly. **insert part here where i saw the kiln tip and ran into the house.** and i came back out to find her back up on the forklift and ready to go. contemplating how best to maneuver her into place... and tada! turned her a little, after this, with the pal
