The Sign

I write this because of someone I witnessed earlier today. Or maybe all the other long-forgotten incidents flashed through my mind because of her, I don’t know. Either way, I just have to get it down.

I’ve been teaching a series of dance workshops, from Seattle to Poulsbo to Port Angeles to Olympia, and many towns in between. This morning, one mother insisted on watching her daughter take my class. I don’t allow this and promptly said so. “I just thought I could help my daughter remember what she learns today,” is what she said, indignantly, on her way out the door.

If help of this nature is supposed to make kids apply themselves more, I can say from experience it doesn’t work.

When I owned a dance studio and wanted, more than anything else, to teach young students how to trust their own perfect minds and bodies, I had to put my foot down: “Parents are allowed to watch only the first class of the month.” read the sign on my door.

Because some of the mothers? You would not believe (only now there is a reality show, so you would). No self control. Absolutely none. Their own insecurities rose right up, landing on their child’s self-esteem. I could see how they really did struggle with it, knowing they were over the top, but it rarely stopped them for long.

It got so I could spot these parents on registration day. Visually, they were more and more like a warning, a manifestation, what unrealized and/or unattempted goals and dreams can become. How people can age, then age some more, without ever accomplishing something of their own to be proud of. Maybe they woke up one morning and found they were no longer able to focus on their career and couldn’t adjust to the reality. Or maybe they never attempted a creative one and feel cheated somehow. I knew these outbursts were hungers that, on another level, weren’t directed at their kids so much as at life at large. Pent up, they had no where else to pop but in my studio. I think this is what’s really going on.

I also think these women would stop interfering if they were able to get past seeing their kids as a chance they had been given. No kid wants to be their parent’s way of reaching for more, of gaining something else.

It seems I’ve described the worst case dance-parent. There were others, lots of others, who were encouraging, supportive, positive. But my signboard couldn’t be selective or the meanies would have come down on me, I was pretty sure of that.

“Your child may be learning a few dance steps here, but you are keeping your child from taking a huge leap forward if you comment from the sidelines. What does your child want from class? The opposite of everything you want, just like when you shop for clothes together.”

This is the sign I should have hung. Never mind the objections. Why didn’t I? What we’d do over if only we could, right?

In tandem with Seattle Art Museum’s “Elles: Women Artists from the Centre Pompidou” exhibit, Greg Kucera Gallery is featuring “Ladies’ Choice,” a show wherein every female gallery artist has chosen a female artist from outside the gallery to exhibit alongside them.

Ross Palmer Beecher chose Marita Dingus, Loretta Bennett chose Qunnie Peltway, Claudia Fitch chose Sheila Klein, Victoria Haven chose Dawn Cerny, Susan Skilling chose Claire Cowie, Katy Stone chose Leona Christie while Lynne Woods Turner chose work by Leonie Guyer, Deborah Butterfield chose Mary Ann Kelly.

There seems to be a spirit of patronage and admiration between women artists that didn’t exist even a few decades ago when there were still such few slots for females in the art world.

“I remember not even that long ago,” says photographer Alice Wheeler who is represented by Kucera, “Guerrilla Girls came to Seattle and there were less than 10% women artists being represented by major art galleries. Greg Kucera has always been very forward, he has almost always had like about a fifty-fifty ratio between men and women artists in his galley. When I first started hanging art almost all of the people I showed with were guys. Previous to Greg Kucera people often said that they were including me because they needed a woman in their show. So at least now I’m known for my work instead of my gender.”

Wheeler, recognized for her images of what she calls “street stuff,” is submitting a large photograph of an all-pink woman she saw and shot in Pioneer

Square named Princess Bubble Gum. Her artist of choice is photographer Kelly O., who The Stranger newspaper describes as their “staff photographer, music writer, Drunk of the Week columnist, and more!”

Kucera artist Deborah Butterfield enthused about her choice of Montana artist Mary Ann Kelly via telephone after driving 10 hours from Bozeman, Montana to the Walla Walla Foundry where she is preparing for a show at LA Louver Gallery.

“We’ve known Mary Ann for 37 years and have been together through lives and deaths and births and forest fires,” says Butterfield; “I think what draws me to her work…you know, we live in Montana in the mountains and so for us nature really is what we deal with every day…things like shoveling snow and dealing with large predators…we really do address that every day and I think the gestural quality in both of our works kind of addresses the human scale within that huge context. The gesture for me is what I can pick up and stuff into a horse (laughs) and the gesture for Mary Ann is really more within her arms reach. I feel that we’re struggling, excited, and responsive to both the structure of nature and then the

gesture within that structure. I think her use of color is so strong; the works are lyrical and they’re sensual. She hasn’t had much exposure out of Montana.”

Gallery artist Sherry Markovitz chose one of Allison Manch’s embroidered works on cloth.

“I like Allison’s attitude and use of materials,” writes Markovitz; “I like her choice of subject matter and how she weaves her history into her work. I was attracted to her transformation of the material and her imagery. There was a humbleness about it...her imagery has evolved. She has been embroidering images of the Southwest and text from songs.”

Markovitz is represented by “Warm Up,” a large gouache on cotton. She uses images of both traditional western dolls, dolls that represent folk traditions, and dolls with profound expressions which she animates. Her most recent paintings are of traditional Mexican paper mache dolls in various acrobatic postures.

“I feel,” writes Markovitz, “that as long as women are oppressed in some way around the world there is a need to highlight women’s work. It can only be empowering.”

Kucera Gallery artist Margie Livingston chose work by Seattle’s witty Debra Baxter.

“Debra’s work hits me with a sense of longing that feels fresh,” says Livingston; “I also like the way she works with an extensive range of materials without feeling gimmicky. From paint to powder puffs and everything in between including quartz, alabaster, words, video, mirrors, and cypress knees.”

Debra has described her use of crystals as “a way to transform vulnerability into power and also to embrace vulnerability as a type of power.”

When did Livingston first see Baxter’s work?

“In 2003, Debra was sewing powder puffs together to make clouds. I don’t remember where it was, but at over three feet long they were stunning, memorable, funny, sad, and feminine,” says Livingston.

Currently, Livingston is “finishing up several objects made out of paint that blur the line between painting and sculpture. These include a block of paint that weighs over 50 pounds, a grid of 90 color tests, a log of paint that was cut into an 8-foot post, and a folded painting. You’ll be able to see some of them at Greg Kucera in October, in the Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial, and in Miami Beach for the December art fairs.”

Deborah Butterfield sums up the sentimentof the show: “There’s strength, you know, in being female. I mean, having babies and stuff—it’s scary. It’s life and death and I think that comes through in our work.”

Saylor JonesSaylor Jones is a Seattle writer and illustrator. Her floral watercolors are exhibited at Mioposto Restaurant from October 3 to December 3. To view her work, visit www.saylorjones.com

“Ladies’ Choice” is on view November 15 through December 29 at the Greg Kucera Gallery, located at 212 Third Avenue South in Seattle, Washington.

This collection rarely travels due to its size and value. “The

Body Beautiful in Ancient Greece” opens in October 2012, with Portland as the fi rst venue for the exhibition following its presentation in London for the Olympics. Mythologia The lives of the ancient Greeks and Romans were profoundly shaped by the myths and stories they told about gods, heroes, monsters, and fantastical creatures. “Mythologia” complements the larger “Body Beautiful” exhibition by exploring works from the Renaissance to modernity that has drawn inspiration from these ancient belief systems, classical narratives, and compelling myths. Portraits by Anna Fidler are intricately drawn with fi ne cross-contour lines to defi ne the sitter’s features and are embellished with colored pencil, iridescent inks, and glitter, resembling an amalgamation of topographical and galactic maps. The photographic work of Cindy Sherman has repositioned portraiture and photography outside of empathetic realms. Exploring the changing notions and the visual tropes of the female identity and body.
