This exhibition takes a retrospective look at the last twelve years of Eccles's work in which she has made images of the human figure. Beginning at about the time that the human form was reimerging in serious art, Eccles created a body of paintings that are accessible, emotionally true to herself, and explorations of a growing feminist consciousness. Artist statement by Jane Eccles.
