Our artists: April Dauscha
April Dauscha is the newest member of our exhibit. Her pieces are wonderful depictions of women's struggles with body image, desires and empowerment.
April Dauscha's series Exposed: An Armory of Physical Longings investigates the idea of body armor. The corsets are part of an imaginary wardrobe that serves to protect and accommodate women in their body processes and their mental states. They are uniforms that provide strength and empowerment. They speak of her desires and struggles. They seek beauty in her burdens. April Dauscha is currently a graduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University studying Fiber in the Craft/Material Studies Department. She looks towards Costume History, traditional Catholic rituals, and themes in 19th century literature to feed her obsession with ritual, reconciliation and communication through dress.
