Fran Bull will be part of the show titled: “Close to Home” at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, Massachusetts (September 17th through January 14th.)
The show includes two artists from Vermont ---Fran Bull and Nora Valdez ---as well as others from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and New York. Speaking through a feminist sensibility, the nine women artists spanning three generations will critique experiences of intimacy and vulnerability associated with fantasies, memories, and social constructs of “home”.
Fran Bull conveys the fluid boundaries and heavy burdens of self, home, and family. Human figures and their traces recur in the artist’s sculpture: A shrouded woman births a shrouded child on a mattress.
The canvas-as-bed serves as stage for the series Stations, a larger-than-life exploration of intimate relationships. Bull’s ghostly figures consort, cavort, give birth, and dream eternal dreams in moments of solitude and of connection with others.
