Social and Cultural Identities
Unapologetically Black Style
Blaxidermy
Florence Griffith Joyner
1988 Olympics
Collection displays artwork that deconstructs traditional fixtures of beauty as an extension of female identity at the intersection of art and feminism. All of Council’s works deal with gender, from the performance of femininity, to societal expectations, to beauty rituals, to the particular challenges for female “elite, manual laborers,” such as athletes and artists.

"Comprised of two thousand acrylic fingernails painted to emulate the elite runner’s manicure from the 1988 Olympics, the work is one of the artist’s earlier realizations of BLAXIDERMY, as it explores the rituals and perceptions of Black adornment, as well as the complexities of adulation and vilification of celebrities." - Denny Dimin Gallery

Quote by Artist: “Blaxidermy is a word I use that combines taxidermy and an idea of blaxploitation. In the series, I used beauty supply products and a lot of sculptural elements that referred to the body. Like blaxploitation, I hope it’s somewhere in the space between comical, outrageous, horrific, and enlightening. And always exuberant.” -Pamela Council
