Amelia Morris: An Honest Assessment
Frank M. Basile Exhibition Hall, Indianapolis Art Center
2014
An Honest Assessment is a series of public declarations and private confessions. Staged self-portraits address feelings of anxiety and inadequacy. Colorful banners disarm by conveying negative thoughts in a cheerful display. Home-made whimsy through temporary tattoos, an abundance of pears, and coordinated outfits create humorous artificial scenarios. This is a light-hearted portrayal of serious concerns.
