Let The Monster Sleep
Amaryllis R. Flowers, 2023
The Union for Contemporary Art, Omaha NE
A monster is simply a being who cannot be anything other than who she is, and who she is threatens the imagined value systems of any given society.
We are the monsters we’ve been waiting for.
In the lineage of Frankenstein, Carrie, and other stories that build empathy for the monster, this show is a collection of Femme Monstrosities rendered in clay, video, and drawings. All tales told from The Girls themselves.
It’s exhausting to be this scary.
Let the Monster Sleep was an installation which featured an all new series of drawings and sculptures by Amaryllis R. Flowers - exploring and continuing monster mythologies and ideologies and exhibited at the Union for Contemporary Art, Omaha NE Sept. 14th - Dec. 2nd 2023.
