Holly Trostle Brigham: Sisters and Goddesses

February 20 – May 29, 2016 - in this exhibition  Holly Trostle Brigham takes on that challenge in seven self-portraits in which she assumes the guise of artists of the past such as Frida Kahlo, Artemesia Gentileschi, and Tamara de Lempicka to remind us of their important stories. Brigham looks to her academic past as a student at one of the “seven sisters" colleges for women, Smith College, connecting those “sisters” with her own life through these portraits. Three additional self-portraits remind us not only of women’s lives in the past, but their continued relevance and importance in the lives of women today.
