I asked the matriarch for a riddle and she answered in rhyme
Beyond the pull of lassitude lies the entire sea
Within each body, a kind of solace
How easily we slip into the gowns of our pasts
Strength in the armor of our garb
Is it possible to bear witness, even as we are watched?
Beneath the surface, the thrum of domestic jazz
Moments of repose within the maelstrom
Lines serve to tell us we’ve lived
What is the shape of memory?
There’s nowhere to go but forward
Still capable of surprise
A dance with and for our mothers
O’Hanlon Center for the Arts thanks Donna & Priscilla for their time and selections
ABOUT THE JURORS
Donna Seager & Priscilla Otani
Donna Seager is the co-owner and curators of one of the most prestigious galleries on the west coast, Seager Gray Gallery http://www.seagergray.com/. She has juried this show since it started 16 years ago!
A native of New Orleans, Donna Seager began in the art business in 1978. She was the director of Marlborough Gallery in Boston before moving to California in 1989. She continued to work in galleries in the bay area until 2005 when she opened her own gallery. Seager has distinguished herself for her discerning eye and commitment to the arts in her community. She has given lectures on the art of the book at international fairs in Miami and San Francisco. In six years, the gallery became a destination for artists and collectors all over the bay area.
As curator, Otani has produced local, national and international exhibitions through Arc Gallery, NCWCA, National Women’s Caucus for Art, and the Pacific Center for the Book Arts. As juror, Otani has juried exhibitions at Arc Gallery, Chicago Woman Made Gallery, San Francisco Women Artists Gallery, and National Women’s Caucus for Art. As an interdisciplinary artist, she has participated in many activist-themed exhibitions, ranging in subject matter from immigration, reproductive rights, women’s rights, to politics. Otani received her BA in Psychology and Asian Studies from Mills College in 1974 and MA in Japanese Literature from Columbia University in 1976. Born in Tokyo, Otani is a bi-cultural, naturalized United States citizen.
