Kim Triedman: When She Was Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Concord Art in Concord, Massachusetts, USA
13 January-13 February 2022<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kim Triedman says about this work:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collage is a kind of visual poetry. I am a published poet and novelist. I began working in collage to further indulge my fascination with story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the start, I\u2019ve found it incredible how two distinct images-placed in proximity-can create a totally new and unexpected energy. For me it\u2019s exactly like writing poetry. It\u2019s this energy that I seek to harness in my collages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of my work focuses on issues of gender expectations and historical perceptions of femininity and sexuality. The series that I\u2019ve been working on these past few years is entitled \u201cWhen She Was Good\u201d–a play off the old nursery rhyme. I\u2019m particularly interested in the notion of nostalgia–how old perceptions collide with current societal realities–and the emotional wounds that women continue to carry as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaos Theory<\/em> by Kim Triedman

There is a lot of \u201cfragmenting\u201d in my collages: dissociated arms and legs; eyes peering or assessing or spying , mouth\u2019s stuffed, agape, or blacked out. This is something that has just \u201chappened\u201d in my work: it seems to be where I land. No body is entirely intact. Figures are there and not there at the same time. My imagination tends toward the provocative–the visually arresting pairing or detail. A dapper business executive side-eyes a 16th-century Dutch girl, her left hand nested neatly over her belly. A deconstructed Eve in the garden brandishes a perfect, tiny, silver nipple ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
