SUMMARY:She Hunts at Night - Solo Exhibition by Lauren Fleniken
DESCRIPTION:She Hunts at Night – Solo Exhibition by Lauren Fleniken \nExhibition Dates: June 16 – 27 \nReception: June 26\, 6p – 8p \nOpen Hours: June 18 12p-5p and by appointment \n  \nExhibition Statement: \nMy work explores the body\, intimacy\, and how the feminine body retains and responds to sexual trauma. In the vast majority of cases\, the perpetrator is known to the victim. I focus on the psychological and sexual trauma done to the feminine when the hunter is someone who was closer\, and the emotional response that muddies the lines between love\, lust\, and violence. I use mythology of the American South and elements of my upbringing combined with a romantic\, lacy exterior to discuss these contradicting feelings. A need for intimacy\, a need to be seen\, and what being taken advantage of does to not only heighten these feelings\, but to cause sex to become a form of self-harm and addiction. The space is transformed with elements of a country side home- a rawhide rug\, a tableside lamp\, a dimly lit TV. Many of these countryside elements utilize all parts of the Buffalo\, once a deer is hunted and harvested. The skin and flesh of a hunted deer is never wasted. Pink tones define a hyperfeminine surreal set stage\, set in between nowhere and now\, with spotlights that show nothing is really unseen in the dark. I rely on self portraiture to convey vulnerability and the battles we have with ourselves\, our identities\, and our bodies. Through my work\, I aim to open conversation on how the perfect victim does not exist\, and how the hypersexualized femme is viewed\, and consequently views herself. \n  \nArtist Bio: \nLauren Fleniken is a multimedia artist living and working in Dallas\, TX.
