Jann Haworth: Mannequin Defectors

These works trace the experiences of the Women’s March that took place that year, using cardboard as her chosen medium to reflect the protest signs carried by many. With this series, Haworth challenges the status quo of expected compositions and embraces the diptych format while asking viewers to consider the accuracy of their own memories. Haworth depicts alternatives to the images created in the minds of others, which is echoed in her arrangements and styles.

Mila Askarova, Founder of Gazelli Art House, says “The group show is an excellent way in which to see the unexpected interactions and correlations between the three artists – despite the decades separating them and the different mediums employed by each of the artists – there are cross-overs and explorations of mutually felt societal issues. We are very fortunate to unveil these parallels in our new group show.”
