#MeToo
Janet Davidson-Hues has dedicated herself to integrating language into her visual field providing infinite possibilities of interpretation and accessibility. Mickey Mouse made his way into her None of Your Business painting series and Minnie was born to represent women who have found voice and are speaking out in her #MeToo series, which is a presumptive look at the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment and the insidious nature of the problem associated with silence on the part of survivors.
The women represented in this exhibition are poised to deflect barbs and accusations, and to absorb misogynistic and hate-filled rhetoric, lies and more lies, innuendos and insinuations. We come together and listen to each other, believe each other, and realize our commonality, whether we are a cartoon character, a woman of art, or a flesh and blood woman like you and me or a member of an enlightened community that surrounds us.
