Riverworks Gallery in Greenville, SC,
Offers Works by Jeanine Cesaro Garrett
The RIVERWORKS Gallery, located at
Art Crossing along the Reedy River in Greenville, SC, will present
the exhibit, Little White Lies, featuring works by Jeanine
Cesaro Garrett, on view from Jan. 7 through Feb. 18, 2011. An
opening reception will be held on Jan. 7, 2011, during Greenville's
First Friday, from 6-9pm.
Little white lies innocuous fibs? Not in the hands of Jeanine
Cesaro Garrett. Garrett sees these lies as treacherous, societal
expectations that produce individual frustration, disappointment
and guilt. She has constructed her sculpture from everyday, domestic
objects. These domestic objects have been recreated through modeling
or molding or have been recontextualized from the home into the
gallery. Through her sculpture, Garrett questions the constant
struggle to maintain the Super-Mom ideal. She encourages all viewers
to question the frustration, disappointment and guilt of cultural
ideals. The works in Little White Lies are visually alluring
while being pervasive and looming.
Garrett initially graduated from Clemson University as a mechanical
engineer. She later changed directions and began studying art
at Greenville Technical College. Garrett completed a BFA at Converse
College and then a MFA at Clemson. She currently teaches at Tri-County
Technical College and lives in Clemson, SC, with her daughter.
RIVERWORKS Gallery is a small art gallery operated by and for
