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".
