About the Item
Susan Manchester’s drawings of feathers and flora are meditations on the ephemeral nature of life, and they reflect the artist’s fascination with beauty in all its strangeness. Manchester has dedicated herself to the close observation of natural phenomenon, and her works on paper help to direct our attention to a contemplative place while living in our high-speed world. Manchester’s strong affinity with Renaissance drawing and her love of printmaking borne from classical Italian art studies, combined with the drawing skills that she has refined over decades, are in full display in these meticulously detailed drawing on Fabriano Roma paper. And it is framed in a museum quality silver leaf frame using all archival materials with an outer dimension of 25.75 x 33 inches From Andra Norris Gallery in California.

- Beflowered IIILocated in Ibadan, Oyo"Be-Flowered" is deeply rooted in the African cultural heritage of a female child. In African culture, it is revered that a young woman should maintain her sexual purity until marriage, which brings immense joy and honor to her family when her husband finds her a virgin on their wedding night. The title "Be-Flowered" is derived from the concept of "Deflower," which signifies taking away a lady's innocence or dispossessing her of her virginity. However, in this painting series, my premise is centered on empowering women and celebrating their pride and inherent power. The first two pieces of the series feature ladies adorned in traditional South African bids worn during the Virgin festival. The gentle pink clouds symbolize feminine power and poise, evoking the strength and grace embodied by women. A community that empowers women tends to uphold higher moral standards than one that does not. My perspective veers away from the idea of gender equality, recognizing its limitations, and instead, I believe in gender equity, providing each gender with the opportunities they need to fulfill their potential. This series aims to leave my audience with a profound appreciation for empowerment and a celebration of cultural heritage. I hope viewers will reflect on the significance of embracing one's roots while acknowledging the strength and beauty that women contribute to society.
