About the Item
Ginger Williams Cook says of her work...
My previous solo exhibition, entitled Abundance of Apollo: The Celestial Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes of Greek Mythology, served as a point of reference for this new body of work, titled The Curse.
The Curse accentuates feminine archetypes within Greek mythology through a lens of reclamation, resilience, and renewal. The series illuminates key figures - Medusa, Persephone, Demeter, Cassandra, and Pandora - as gestural, vibrant meditations on the gravity of inherited myth and ancestral burden. These narrative paintings work to reclaim the reputations of their subjects—not as monsters or collateral damage shaped by a masculine-god-complex, but as figures worthy of autonomy, freedom, and dignity in the face of the gods who sought to control them.
_______
Ginger Williams Cook is a painter, published illustrator, and arts educator based in Jackson, MS. Her paintings have been featured in numerous exhibitions, publications, and media. Ginger's journey into motherhood and coping through art is featured in an HBO Documentary, The Dead Mothers Club. Her painting comparing phantom limb sensation to grief was selected as the documentary's featured poster.
She is an avid sketchbook artist who cultivates an intuitive drawing practice to document the mundane. Ginger uses digital illustration to develop mockups, experimenting with imagery, color palettes, and composition. The techniques in her artwork combine washes of acrylic paint that take shape with colored pencils and pastels, serving as a visual conversation between two hemispheres - the creator and the corrector dancing through a changing process. The common thread in her work is emotional attachment to physical objects, and the power nostalgia has to unlock a memory.
