About the Item

In this new series of wall plaques, titled ""Behind Closed Doors,"" the artist reimagines original images from a book titled In Praise of the Backside. The book's collection features women from behind, most often captured by men, often untitled and anonymous. In the artist's reinterpretation of these images, women transcend their status as objects of lines and shadows, becoming subjects imbued with emotion, thought, and a place of belonging. Alex Hodge is an artist-ceramist primarily interested in creating work that juxtaposes the canon of Western art with the lived experiences of contemporary women. As a queer woman growing up in the rural south, she became familiar with the feeling of being on the periphery, spending her youth wandering the woods, collecting material for small sculptures and creating stories for herself.
