After a brief delay the August program has been archived:

Surreal portraiture—Muse or artist? Can you fall in love with a picture? Can you fall in love with someone from a picture? What about sel-portrait? How do you conjure the image of yourself? How much do you reveal? How much do you hide? The image of women in much of recorded history has so often been through the male gaze, defining women according to what value they were to him. How do women see/draw/paint/write themselves and for whom?
