Marsha is featured in the Eugene Weekly’s coverage on “Seen” at Maude Kerns Art Center, a new show celebrating the figure and traditional values of inclusion. An excerpt from the article is listed below; read the full story here!
“Shankman has a take on being seen that empathizes with the model. Typically, a model is referred to anonymously as “a nude” or “the figure.” But Shankman has always felt connected to the person she’s trying to represent, aware of the story they tell with their posture. And because there is no instructor in open studios, the models assume their own poses. In other words, they tell their own stories.”
