Lu Colby: Eve Leaving the Garden
opening: Friday, June 7, 2024
on view: June 7– July 27, 2024

Lu Colby is a multimedia artist that concentrates on the role of women and the evolution that has taken place over the last one hundred years. Colby states “Women have evolved from domestic laborer to full time careerist, and full-time mothers to outsourcing childcare. These major shifts have forced us, as a society, to examine what this means for women’s’ work, women’s’ bodies, and what it means for women’s relationships with their partners, family members, friends, and children” By using textiles such as women’s stockings to embroidered tea towel, she pushes the exploration and the conversation of these topics to invite the viewer to further explore the change that has happened. Lu Colby will be in the Martin McDonald Hallway from June 7 through July 27, 2024.
