Colleen Weaver:
Barbaric
Nov 14th-30th , 2025

Barbaric is my exhausted shrug at the glossy magazine ideal. This body of work exposes the supposed freedom of being a beautiful, well-put-together femme, revealing how quickly that “freedom” becomes a prison of daily self-measurement—though, of course, there are pills for that.

Barbaric twists beauty and wellness culture into a satirical feminist playground. For the last four years I’ve been a test subject—cycling through mental-health medications that didn’t work, riding out withdrawals, and catching only rare flashes of lucidity. This is art from inside that hazy experiment.

And yes, I’m calling out consumerism—yet here I am inviting you to buy my art and merch. Irony fully recognized: everything has a price tag.

Thank you for spending time with this 2025 body of work. I intend it to be comforting—a reminder that if you feel worn down or trapped by these same pressures, you are not alone

ClownHollow
Nov 14th - 30th, 2025

The clown has always been with us. Across centuries and continents, through temples and carnivals, behind masks and beneath greasepaint, they have endured.

The clown endures because we need them to.

Society has carried very few archetypes unbroken through time, and yet the clown remains. Clowns are healers, magicians, fools, teachers and mirrors. They make joy out of pain, beauty out of absurdity, meaning out of madness.

In this haunted grove, the circus has come and gone but the clowns remain. Some laugh, some mourn, some simply linger, reflections of us all. ClownHollow is a place of remembrance and transformation, where the boundaries between celebration and sorrow, comedy and tragedy, human and ghost, dissolve into one shimmering breath.

If you listen closely you may hear the forest laughing.
