HOPE IN THE CITY

Stacy Renee's Art


Cities rush by us, or we feel that way as we rush through cities hurried by fear and panic at the possibility of failing, or being late for something. Forever clinging to someone else's perception of us one's youth and vitality can be sapped up by the way we had to, or felt we had to give our soul to working for a living. It is a grim choice for most it seems. For many a young woman dreams are forgotten and suddenly remembered standing where she feels naked and vulnerable in a city. For as long as it takes a light to change a decision can accompany a revelation and she or anybody can turn and walk away from it all, and take on the process of remembering themselves! ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13

IT IS IN THERE

Stacy Renee's Art




"There is an abstraction and clarity that is elegant and refined. You can't define it by touch. You can look at it, and not be able to recreate the moment, or the image with words. If you do the risk of it not being perceived by another is of no more significance than being seen too much as a famous person. Some art some artists capture in their medium is created as the scribe of a timeless nuance: breath. 

It is here. Right here Stacy Renee in your art as a gift to others." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13

the Deeper Significance

Stacy Renee's Art

"... if more women who wore Eldership and embodied the deep principles of Sacred Femininity taught young girls the initiatory rites of womanhood the more potent would the symbols of women become, and more carefully the Sacred and Feminine would be buried within the consciousness of the whole!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13

DOMINATION RELAXATION

Stacy Renee's Art



"There is a look within women who are walking in the world as a dominant male/female lesbian that always shrinks in terror in the presence of a man deep in his manhood. The terror in her eyes is momentary for appearances are important, but that look is troubling to a man whose responsibility to protect is pained by this observation. The look we see asks us questions, important questions about our walk and how we present ourselves in the world until we realize that the fears of others not only reflect the human condition; the soul of each sees themselves within others and also sees what is not there in reality!" ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13

WHAT IS SAID unsaid

Stacy Renee's Art




There is something that restrains the struggle of the memories of the relationship and the histories between white people and Black Americans that lives in the face of many young white women. It isn't their doing. They, in their youth, could not create the dynamic play of youth and innocence within them, or the tendency to plunge themselves into adventures, and play. It is not that young white women are unique in this capacity. It is that these things are and can be facilitators. Something and someone has to facilitate between the warring factions within each group, and it makes sense that our young people do that job.

The artist can play that role and not enough know they are playing that role. There is something within your art, Stacy Renee, that speaks to the hope of the Youth Movement in the 1960's, and revisits the era with fresh eyes. What I've brought up was something that Black revolutionaries wrestled with in those times. Many often thought romantic relationships with white women were revenge, and counting coup, but come the morning their souls were changed and revolution took on another dimension and stepped towards healing wounds and counseling themselves with the possibility of social change as reconciliation. It was not a popular idea in the thick of battle, but those relationships had a calming and disturbing effect upon lovers. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13

DREAMT OF WHO WE ARE

Stacy Renee's Art


"the coolness of pretending to be sophisticated is an intriguing allure for many men. what surprises some in the end is how effective dreams are because the dream and pretense of sophistication can become the woman." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.13
