Justine - new work

Penelope reinvented

There is a new play at the Steppenwolf Theatre titled "Penelope" where four Speedo-clad men are locked in a do-or-die competition to win Penelope’s love, but reach a grisly fate... she needs no man!

Just this month, I decided to reinvent MY 'Penelope' from 2004.  I recently had a break up.  It's a long story... stemming from my personal reasons and differences of never being married, expressing the 'no need' for a man in my life.  Turning away a beautiful love.

She was beautifully rephotographed by Doug Birkenheuer - tag line of  'the epic non-traditional woman.' My story is based off of 'Penelope Reknown' by Marilyn Katz... she is not under any man's control; survives on her own, patiently waiting for her husband to return from the war, while many suitors approach her, she continues to stand her ground.

Blast Reception - September 24, 2011

The reception was fantastic... We had about 200-300 people visiting the exhibition.  We even had our own personal paparazzi shoot photos of the artists.

3 Chicago-based artists, with friendships that span more than 20 years, come together in this dramatic exhibition.  Erik DeBat’s artwork reflects an urban landscape full of surprises, Nancy Pirri presents a powerful commentary on the profound nature of contemporary feminism, while Peter Mars makes a striking visual commentary on global popular culture.

Opening Reception: 'Reflection' - July 15, 2011 - Lala Gallery

Solo Show 'Reflection'  opening reception was incredible. Coinciding with a gallery walk in Lafayette, IN 300-400 people attended... see link below of over 100 pictures.

My boyfriend Jonathan Weiss suggested I wear my Ralph Lauren dress and heels, expressing that the outfit complimented my work.  The evening started out beautifully.  Ira - a woman who visited the gallery last weekend was there promptly at 6pm looking lovely and once again told me about her 'goose bumps' while viewing my work.  The flow of people was non-stop, in which some had to tell me which 'girl' was their favorite, how much my work moved them, questions re: my technique, process, color choices, etc.  'Loss of a Friend' and Simone were two mentioned quite often.

Here is the evening captured on camera:  https://picasaweb.google.com/107132982709943760524/ReflectionOpeningReceptionJuly152011?authuser=0&feat=directlink
