Description
A segment of AVN's monthly magazine show, "Here/now", "Artscape" takes a look at all things cultural around Arlington. This edition features a preview of the latest exhibit at Ellipse Arts Center: Uncommon Beauty.

This
exhibition
is
something
that
I've
been
thinking
about
for
a
very
long
time,
feminine
beauty
and
alternate
definitions
to
the
ones
that
were
bombarded
with
every
day
and
our
popular
culture
they're
the
sort
of
commonly
accepted
standards
of
beauty,
but
then
there's
there's
something
else,
I
know
about
it.
So,
in
the
back
of
my
mind,
not
only
was
I
thinking
about,
but
what
would
an
alternate?
What
would
uncommon
beauty
look
like
and
then
I
started
noticing
that
there
are
some
artists
and
our
greater
washington
DC
area,
that,
in
my
mind
at
least
tackle
these
issues.

They
think
they're
kind
of
extreme
views
of
people-
and
you
know,
there's
also
another
kind
of
tension
in
the
workers,
attention
between
attraction
and
repulsion,
so
I
try
to
make
the
image
is
really
beautiful
and
attractive
in
that
kind
of
big
colorful
picture
kind
of
way,
and
yet,
at
the
same
time
you
know
some
of
the
details
and
some
of
the
things
you
see
are
not
that
attractive
and
I.
Think
that
goes
to
the
nature
of
not
just
the
way
people
look,
but
the
way
people
are
a.
B
Few
taco
had
this
idea
I'm
going
to
look
hard
at
myself
and
document
myself
as
I
age,
just
the
idea
that
she
decided
to
do
and
to
continue
with
this
project
and
I
think
not
only
shows
courage
but
also
coming
to
terms
and
ease
with
her
identity
as
it
changes
over
time.
It's
a
it's
a
question
of
metamorphosis,
absolutely
and
and
as
she
talks
about
you,
know,
sort
of
the
beauty
of
very
old
women,
maybe
not
again,
not
in
the
Marilyn
Monroe
sense
of
beauty,
but
in
another
sense,
in
an
alternate
sin.
B
A
lot
of
women
have
documented
themselves
having
breast
cancer
and
coming
out
on
the
other
side,
but
particularly
attracted
me
to
cater
nishes
approach.
Is
that
there
is
this
amazing
sense
of
transformation
and
it's
not
stark
realism.
It's
a
combination
of
sort
of
what
really
happened
and
wishful
thinking
and
her
trials
and
tribulations
as
she
comes
to
terms
with
the
loss
of
her
breasts
and
hair.

The
six
artists
that
I
chose
in
the
air
for
the
exhibition
I
think
each
presents
a
very
personal,
very
passionate,
take
on
a
different
definition
or
different
contextualizing
of
feminine
beauty,
and
one
of
the
threads
that
I
kept
looking
for
is
a
sense
of
transformation
and
tension
between
outer
and
inner
beauty.
So,
even
though
I
think
we're
looking
at
very
different
bodies
of
work,
I
think
you
can
find
some
interesting
conversations.
They're.
