Episode #80: Starting the Conversation: Breasts, Body, Art & Acceptance with Artist Arlene Rush

September 09, 2022

In today's episode, we speak to Arlene Rush, a conceptual multidisciplinary #artist who works on challenging the theories used to classify art. Arlene’s art exists among ideas of a feminist ideology, political engagement, and a strong sense of identity. Her art expands to sculptural objects, installations, photo-base work and mixed media, challenging conventional boundaries assigned to artists.

Tune in to hear about her inspirations behind her artwork, her thoughts on aging and her advocacies for breast cancer through art.

In this episode, we cover:

Studio in New York
Her relationship with her artworks
Artworks explained: “In Waiting”, “Days After” and “Carnival” Series
Her journey in recovering from breast cancer
“The Box”, artpiece that launch the “Vaginal” series
