WOMEN, TRAUMA & VISUAL EXPRESSION discusses the hows and whys of women artists' visual expressions of personal, cultural, and collective trauma. Drawing from extensive research, ambitious surveys, interviews, and personal experience, Amy Stacey Curtis explores trauma's history, content, symbols, archetypes, patterns, work process, and stigma, in the context of women artists and their imagery.
The Color of Memory is a sampling of the thousands of color-specific memories shared at Amy Stacey Curtis's major interactive exhibit "The Color Of Memory" in Westbrook, Maine's former high school gym (March 26-April 22, 2022). As the 2022 University of Southern Maine Artist-In-Residence, Curtis built a neighborhood of 9 homes---each house, its yard, and its possessions wholly a different color (orange, yellow, blue, white, black, light pink, green, red, and light blue). Participants of this exhibit were asked to think of personal memories sparked by the respective colors, to enter these homes to anonymously write their memories within the homes' respectively colored books inside. Curtis hopes to revisit this concept on the U.S. west coast, perhaps internationally, and to publish more volumes of memories shared.
