Laura Elkins, Bonnie Lucas & Carol Peligian

Conflict is intrinsic to all aspects of life, yet the prospect of it rattles the equilibrium and provokes associations on levels from universal to deeply personal. While generally perceived as temporal, negative, and preferably avoidable, conflict can be as readily recognized as ubiquitous and transformative. Wrestling Angels looks at three female artists addressing conflict in their work: Laura Elkins on politics clashing with privacy; Bonnie Lucas on societal contradictions to biology and psychology; and Carol Peligian on conflict as a necessary, objective, universal phenomenon.
