Female Power Project, Nasty RZY

Meet Nasty RZY

What is she about to do with that fist?
In which the artist explores the rhetoric of vulgarity within the feminist discourse of anger…

Here is a new body of work in the Female Power Project: Nasty RZY

RZY (“Rosie”) has some things she would like to say and sometimes the most direct language is the most effective. When you’re this angry you are entitled to roll up your sleeves and speak clearly. Is there a decorous and feminine way to express anger? Is it still anger? Can you stomach more anger if it is sweetened and mediated? Does a spoon full of humor help the medicine go down? What if you have to look harder to see the anger—if you have to work to make out the words—what if you can let it sink in slower? Can you digest it then? [What if you make every statement into a question?] Maybe then it can be a seed of power. Maybe then it can communicate. It’s a funny thing to make artwork that I am afraid to speak its name when people come to the studio. Maybe this is work for me, too. That is what RZY SEZ.
