This weeks #StayHomeOpenStudios artist is Cathy O’Keefe! She is a visual artist from New York City. She is self-taught and has a long background in working with a variety of media. Currently, Cathy paints extensively in oils and creates compositions with paper that include monotypes and multimedia. She is influenced primarily by the abstract expressionists from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. She exhibits primarily on the eastern seaboard and her paintings are in a variety of private and public collections.
Cathy’s love for New York City is evident in many of her paintings, exploring the natural and industrial worlds. She uses color dynamically to express conceptions of light. All her work is full of energy and movement. The colors are bright and vivid, expressing interpretations of what she sees and feels about a given subject. Cathy internalizes and transforms things from the real world, but also brings forth imagery from strictly inner sources. She creates with excitement and her works exude joy.

…Writing for social justice is a process that we use to critique society, struggle, the world and our own personal histories; it affirms life and struggle. Community creates trust, which allows us to be vulnerable. We become vulnerable so that we can become empowered. When we become empowered, we begin to develop actionable plans for our lives.

We seek essays that investigate contemporary elegy within the black diaspora. We are especially interested in essays that discuss the black writers’ responses to personal and public deaths. One could look at the contemporary poem of mourning as a challenge to the elegy in its past form, as a commemoration of diasporic challenges (including police brutality), and/or as a vehicle for addressing concerns with citizenship and belonging. One could look to the poetry of Terrance Hayes, Tyehimba Jess, Mahogany Browne, Nikky Finney, Jericho Brown, Aracelis Girmay, Evie Shockley, Danez Smith, Claudia Rankine, Fred Moten, Warsan Shire, and Dominique Christina, among many others; one could also look to elegiac prose by authors such as Jesmyn Ward, Edwidge Danticat, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, to name a few.

What is an Elegy?
An elegy (pronounced ELL-eh-jee) is a poem of mourning. Written in a somber style, it reflects seriously on death and on the person who has passed. Elegies are written for a specific person, usually someone the author knew well, although sometimes people write elegies for long-dead heroes. The emotional effect is usually greatest, however, when the elegy is written from a personal experience of loss.
