L. Rhoda, (detail of) Pockets of,,,, 2006, 60”h x 12"w, mixed media
Representing the human form is perhaps the most universal visual expression the human race
makes. The first identifiable marks drawn by children are of faces and people. Likewise, making dolls and
miniature representations of the body are fundamental to all cultures. In Resemblance presents artwork that taps
into the power of this phenomenon. Elmira artist Lynn Rhoda creates doll-like works that are a means of
social commentary. Likewise, Jan Thomas, also of Elmira, uses images of Barbie, in an installation of video
and photography. Painted Post artist, Ginnie Lupi, has created an interactive wall installation with interchangeable vinyl
elements that work like ‘Color Forms’. Vanessa Decker Goodman creates collages that are dolls.
