Pink Silo, a juried exhibition presented by Wavelength Space in collaboration with the Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, is a celebration of artistic materials, forms, and color palettes historically associated with femininity—categories often dismissed or undervalued in the fine art world. Drawing inspiration from the term “pink-collar,” which describes professions associated with women that have been historically devalued, Pink Silo highlights and reclaims these elements in art, from fiber and beadwork to pastels and glitter, showcasing both professional and emerging artists side by side.

my work in the show:
Not Charmed’, 2023
60 x 44 x 18”
mop bucket, automotive paint finish, inline skate wheels, synthetic hair, LED lighting

Not Charmed’ draws inspiration from the historical context of the 19th-century cult of domesticity, juxtaposing it with the challenges women face in today’s hyper-capitalist society. The work transforms a common household object, traditionally associated with women’s domestic chores, into a fetishized item with an automotive paint finish. This transformation paradoxically symbolizes both the power and freedom typically linked to masculine notions of American automobiles and the empowerment of women to make their own choices.
