Anonda Bell Bio & Statement
In 1932 Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti created a work titled “The Palace at 4 a.m.” The work references automatic art making techniques and his association with Surrealist artists. The work reads as a dream sequence, a stage like scene, with a suggestive narrative and clues indicating the presence of privileged people engaged in the activities at a luxurious palace in the middle of the night. The ambiguity of the work is enchanting. Born into royalty, the occupants of the palace are free from the drudgery of everyday life and therefore able to indulge their whims, engage in any pleasurable recreational pursuits. "The Suburbs at 4 a.m." explores an idea about the experience of women in the post war era (with resonance in the present day). This series explores the persistent notion that women are somehow passive, fragile and feeble creatures, not unlike children inhabiting the body of an adult. This notion is part of a pervasive belief in gender inequity which continues to lead to the gross underestimation of all women.
