I am fortunate to have my work Neighbors from Homesickness Series featured in Woman Made Gallery’s “HOME, A Virtual Exhibition” alongside works by 123 artists from the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Nigeria and the United Kingdom. The exhibition was inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic, thus making the theme of home particularly relevant.
In the call for work, WMG stated “Home is often presumed to be a safe sanctuary or retreat that one goes to reconnect with themselves, but that is not the experience for many who face trauma and violence at home or who do not have a stable home to go to.” In her juror’s statement Jennifer Weigel reflects on the entries: “In jurying Home for Woman Made Gallery, I was drawn to the diversity of expression and willingness to share our most intimate moments: our laughs, loves, and losses. How we see our homes is very much a reflection of how we see ourselves. What is important to us? What dark thoughts lurk in the closet or under the bed and keep us up at night? What lights our way to carry us through our dark times, and what gives us cause to sing and dance in the kitchen? Home is a reflection of where we are in our lives, where we have been, and where we are going.

Curator/Juror: Jennifer Weigel is a multi-disciplinary mixed media conceptual artist. Weigel utilizes a wide range of media to convey her ideas, including assemblage, drawing, fibers, installation, jewelry, painting, performance, photography and video. Much of her work touches on themes of beauty, identity (especially gender identity), memory & forgetting, and institutional critique. Weigel’s art has been exhibited nationally in all 50 states and has won numerous awards.
