ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This photo is a portrait of a planet; a snapshot of sinew. This feminine shape holds the dialogical relationships between strength and vulnerability, between protection and audacity. When we think of the earth, do we think of the central axis it is spinning on? Do we think of it in outer space on that axis? A pole dancer never forgets her central axis....she is the spinning body in motion, she is the planetary orb. It's one thing to see the shape of a body, but it's quite another to realize it is spinning with its own momentum and force. Imagine the earth spinning in outer space...so vulnerable...and yet so connected to all the planets, moons and stars in the galaxy. This audacious vulnerability is not something only women project - it is something all humans can relate to. 

From the carved female nudes of our ancestors 40,000 years ago to the pole dancers of the planet today, the female form is the most popular subject matter in art. Yet, as we continue to destroy our planet with our societies' yearnings for "more" and "better", at what point does the female form become a war cry for earth itself? For the pain and destruction in all of our lives? When will we start recognizing ourselves - male, female, plant, animal, insect - as bodies in motion, connected to every other body in motion around us? When will we start behaving with that awareness in mind? When will we all harmonize our energies into greater, loving, compassionate beings? When will we start speaking, acting, moving and dancing with the universal language of love?

Featherpistol is a Performance Artist who has dedicated her life to following her passions. Her love of Nature, community and her husband prompted her move to Tahoe in 2017. "Feather" is an International Artist in Residence for Supperclub Amsterdam and has performed her art at dinner theater shows, circus shows, special events, Vegas nightclubs, casinos, fundraisers, festivals and theater productions. She is excited to be the creator of “Pole for the Globe”, a new initiative for raising money for earth charities by performing her signature performance art in nature. To date, this project has donated over $7,000.00 to charity. Join the movement at Early on, growing up in Minnesota, her family took lots of trips into the woods of the midwest for hunting and fishing expeditions. A crucial moment happened in her 16th year when she was reluctantly hunting with her father. She had always been a good shot with a gun, having taken Firearm Safety classes in 6th grade with “all the boys”, as she was an eternal tomboy growing up. But she didn’t actually want to shoot anything, let alone a bright eyed deer. She was close with her father and rarely stood up to him, but this November day in the woods she saw two beautiful doe walk across her line of sight. Reading “Catcher in the Rye” in her treestand, she looked at them with her heart racing, glanced at the gun, and thought “there’s no way I’m killing these animals”. She had to take a stance and tell her father “no”. Later, he found out and said “honey, you don’t have to kill a deer, it’s a hard thing to do, a lot of people can’t do it or won’t do it for many reasons”. In this moment she felt closer than ever to her dad, and she was relieved he didn’t push her to hunt any longer. Her father passed away in 2023 and to this day Featherpistol feels strongly that he is with her whenever she’s in the woods. Now, she considers herself a middle aged activist artist. She stages pole art performances, photoshoots, and video shoots to express her critique of this plastic-riddled world. At 42, she has followed her fire for travel, art and knowledge and lived all over the world - and is now quite happily settled in Tahoe with her little family. Having resided in Los Angeles, Florence Italy, London and San Francisco, Featherpistol has spread her wings and explored what excites her and is now quite content to be living in the mountains.
