For Alpha Adieu I revisited a series of paintings, objects, text and prints, developed over the last five years, that consider the expanded legacy of American painter Christina Ramberg and her creative female circle. Working obliquely with the legacy of women artists, my work has sought to comprehend the relationship between painting, biography, persona and clothing through contingent and reflexive means. Developing a form of subjective biography, I have sought to ask how we undertake the recuperation of less considered artists’ work. Drawing on feminist literary touchstones, including the work of Christa Wolf and Carla Lonzi, as well as écriture féminine, I employ both empathy and subjectivity to suggest new forms of comprehension; exploring the complexities of feminine experience through a consideration and re-visioning of other women artists’ work.Over the duration of the programme at M HKA, the evolving display of work acted as a site for an ongoing discussion between myself and invited contributors including: friends, students and peers, forming a programme of talks, readings and restaged performances that ultimately considered the divisive notion of an appropriate Fine Art education for women.Contributors included: Hana Leaper, Tess Denman-Cleaver, Titania Seidl, Ellen Lesperance, Daniela Cascella and Giovanna Zaperi.
