Palmer Earl: Tug-of-War Artist Talk

“Maybe if we all see that the world’s general perception of women is rooted in false and unflattering mythology and history, we can see that our current views and treatment of women are unjust.”

Palmer Earl, Voyage LA Interview, March 2020

Palmer Earl often uses mirrors in her paintings to express her subject’s relationships with themselves and their contexts. Earl is particularly interested in the detriment that social, cultural, and historical values inflict on the individual. The mirrors serve to remind the viewers that criticism is not meant to be directed outward. Each piece presented in this online exhibition acts as a reflection of its viewer, and the viewers own relationships, struggles, and complicity with those cultural forces.
