Girlhood overly sexualized, the transformative processes of the adult form and stereotyping and judging each other are three pivotal themes in Mary Kearney Hull’s work. Hull renders the human form in both psychosocial and physiological artistic explorations. Her drawings and paintings explore traditional and nontraditional themes of cultural and political identity in both herself and people she encounters in her daily life. Her female subjects are depicted through a “female (yet adolescent) gaze” where the viewer is welcomed in this very personal space. Often met with an ambiguous uncertainty, we are questioning these narratives while relating them to cultural pasts within ourselves and our worlds histories.
