The metallic ink that is used on the background of this piece adds an additional layer to the painted layers. As you move around this piece, the gentle iridescence of the gold changes, and gives a warm breath to the work. The Layering of the lace, which was used as a stencil as I stamped the lace with oil paint, represents the layering of experiences we have, and how we make them precious, and at the same time they react as cages that bind us. Lace is a web, and traditionally feminine, encasing women in a tangle we create for ourselves, decorating the body, just like glitter and sparkle adds to our otherness. We see our worlds through this web, any privilege built right into the mix. The woman symbolizes a white privileged woman and all that she sees…her form is valuable, pretty is valuable, dainty is valuable, staying within boundaries is valuable, and so dealing with facing one’s privilege, she is looking outward, maybe a way out. She has formed a type of chrysalis, a nest of value, and she is awakening to new ideas outside her world.

Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar is a contemporary artist living and working in New Jersey. Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Christine focuses on the female form as her muse, mostly conjured from self-portraits, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. Christine received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993, and after living in New York City, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums having stretched the limits from making her own oil paints to using shellac and iron filings to transforming her work to the mixed media technique she has developed more recently. Her current process uses graphite and charcoal, along with ink and pure pigments brushed or scratched on, along with oil and acrylic paint.
