 foot Communications Gallery through May\n\nThe ZACC is delighted to exhibi
 t ‘Warrior Women’\, works by Naomi Thornton\, in our Blackfoot Communicati
 ons Gallery this May\, with an opening on First Friday\, May 6\, from 5-8 
 PM. \n\nABOUT WARRIOR WOMEN\, in the Artist’s words\n\n“In my artwork\, I 
 create dream landscapes that are places of healing and empowerment. In my 
 series “Warrior Women” I start with vintage photographs of women taken in 
 the 1800’s and early 1900’s. My medium\, collage\, is a process of deconst
 ructing and reassembling. I remove each woman from the constraints of her 
 time and locality and place her in a nurturing landscape outside the bound
 s of everyday reality. In building the dream landscape\, I carefully selec
 t each piece to reflect and honor her story.\n\nI have always been drawn t
 o portrait photography\, knowing that a photograph is a moment in time\, a
  real person with a unique story. The photographs I find are embedded with
 in an historical and cultural context. Some portraits occur within the exp
 erience of privilege while others are shaped by colonization and exploitat
 ion. I seek to amplify women’s voices past and present and reclaim the und
 ervalued stories of women’s everyday experiences. I research the achieveme
 nts and struggles of women during each particular historical moment and lo
 cality to envision a framework for each piece of art. I use found images f
 rom magazines\, books and online resources combined with paint\, handmade 
 papers\, and text from old books to evoke a textured layering of desires\,
  hopes and dreams. Through my art\, I intend to create a narrative of conn
 ection and safety\, of a way forward.\n\nAs a psychotherapist\, I have wit
 nessed the incredible resiliency of human beings to heal and reach toward 
 wholeness. In my art\, I seek to reflect that part of the human spirit. My
  hope is that the viewer will also enter the dreamscape I have created as 
 a place of renewal and self-revelation.\n\nI offer my gratitude to all the
  photographers\, known and unknown\, whose work is a catalyst to my creati
 ve process.”\n
