Andrea Breiling
It seems like it was just yesterday that I was here for GLAMFA 2013 performing with my feminist art collective Skunkworks; four artists with like minded concerns and frustrations about gender and sexuality. This year GLAMFA 2014 two of my paintings are in the show and I am thrilled! I see my painting as just another way of engaging my own personal limitations as well as the historical jargon that’s inherent with in it. I have found both my painting practice and performance work to be mutually exclusive and yet need one another to exist. Painting as we all know has always been viewed as one of the most extreme, patriarchal art forms. And, yet I continue to find fuel in reexamining and helping reclaim painting as an important part of a feminist art practice.
