Powerful Women
Conceived during the long COVID confinement as the artist contemplated how societal and personal challenges were spectacularly handled by women in history, she continues her focus on women of strength and power, Joan’s series “Powerful Women” start with familiar images of historical figures, both noted and notorious. She uses vintage jewelry, found objects, fabric, collage and acrylic to give life and voice to each woman. The final encasement of each piece in a resin coating represents the figure as permanent reflection in the window of the past. Coye invites the viewer to enhance and challenge their longstanding and private perceptions of these incredible women who changed the course of history.
