Bridget Curtis’s figurative paintings explore ideas of the physical and psychological boundaries between “the body” and “the world.” The paintings becomes a collection- or an index- of expression, repression, body, and flesh. Curtis’s intuitive practice is a result of considerations of The Abject, femininity, and loss.  

“These paintings become a means of synthesizing symbols and written work that I collect and create intuitively. Poetry and writing are at the core of my work. I view these practices, painting and writing, as one. Both practices are ultimately moving towards an exploration of embodiment.”
