About the Item
Ginger Williams Cook is a painter, published illustrator, and arts educator based in Jackson, MS. Her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibitions, publications, and media. Ginger's journey into motherhood and coping through art is featured in an HBO Documentary, The Dead Mothers Club. Her painting comparing phantom limb sensation to grief was selected as the documentary's featured poster.
She is an avid sketchbook artist who cultivates an intuitive drawing practice to document the mundane. Ginger uses digital illustration to develop mockups, experimenting with imagery, color palettes, and composition. The techniques in her artwork combine washes of acrylic paint that take shape with colored pencils and pastels, serving as a visual conversation between two hemispheres - the creator and the corrector dancing through a changing process. The common thread in her work is emotional attachment to physical objects, and the power nostalgia has to unlock a memory.
The artist says of her work...
This series of paintings delves into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology associated with the twelve zodiac signs. Inspired by each sign's elemental qualities and seasonal atmospheres, I assigned a range of color palettes to evoke the essences of fire, air, earth, and water through vibrant hues, dynamic contrasts, and energetic mark-making. The dynamic figural interpretations of mythical tales further enrich this exploration.
As seen in the works of artists like John Singer Sargent, Maxfield Parrish, and Erté, there is a timeless fascination with the cosmos and its mythological connections. The zodiac signs provide an ideal framework for a series, offering a structured design brief open to interpretation. The imagery in my work is sourced from Greek iconography, Neoclassical accents, and imagined natural elements.
As this series developed, I immersed myself in the natural world, observing seasonal changes and celestial phenomena like catching a glimpse of the technicolor auroras in Mississippi. I looked to the stars for guidance, drawing inspiration from the captivating stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes. The flawed nature of these divine beings, their strengths, and their weaknesses resonate deeply with the human experience.
