ARTIST STATEMENT
Flo Bartell
As this Enso term began, a friend and I discussed recent gender
battles we had both faced and, generally, female
disempowerment in our society. As artists do, we eventually
began to envision ways we could use our art to make a
statement about the issue, honor the struggles women have
faced throughout history, and show our determination to claim
our own strengths.
I also wanted to experiment with new techniques and materials
to use in my art practice.
I addressed female disempowerment and developed new ways
of interacting with my material in creating "Fi".
