How we cover ourselves, whether we choose to conform to society’s norms and stereotypical expectations and/ or as a means of individual expression, has an impact on how we are perceived through the eyes of others. This response to social expectation and individual expression has challenged women throughout history. My intrigue with women’s garments and female identity carries through most of my work. The ballet tutu becomes the typecast garment in this latest piece. The tutu represents women’s social cover, and the contrast of the women shown indicates how universal this issue is for women; we see a mix of artists, secretaries, high school students, mothers, writers, prostitutes, etc., and can more readily question how or why this symbol of ultimate femininity came to exist. Many of us grew up with this ballerina syndrome and society’s expectations as to how we should be perceived. My interest in the ballet, keeping aside its validation as an art form, questions how women appear in this costume.

The multidisciplinary work of Patricia Schnall Gutierrez (including painting, drawing, sculptural objects, performance, and installation) draws its inspiration from a self-referential account of personal memories, situations and emotions. Using distinct choices of mediums, household objects and materials, she creates an autobiographical account of the every day, drawing the viewer into an intimate dialogue that often probes questions of gender and sexuality. Through her personal stories, she shares a unique perspective on controversial issues facing contemporary women and society. Patricia Schnall Gutierrez was born in Buffalo, New York and received a BFA from SUNY Buffalo in1978. After a move to New York City in 1980, she continued her education at the New York Studio School.
