“Tattooed Lady” is a contemporary photographic series that explores women, tattoos, and their stories.  The show consists of portraits and interviews with approximately twenty women,.   

 

“I hope this exhibit inspires and intrigues people,” says Morgan, “I want the viewer to question what the phrase “tattooed lady” means to them.”  The exhibit seeks to not only capture the beauty and uniqueness of the women and their tattoos, but to look into broader of aspects of society, self identification, and history.      

 

This exhibit will doubtless shake up any preconceived notions people hold about tattooed individuals.   A wide variety of women from various backgrounds and ranging in age from 18 to 45+ are represented in the series.  These captivating images span the range of emotions, from serious to silly.

 

Tattooed Lady is on display at Gallery 321 at the Washington Street Art Center during the month of July, with an opening reception on Saturday, July 12^th from 6:00-9:00pm.  Normal gallery hours are Saturdays 12:00pm-4:00pm with additional viewings available by appointment.

 

The Washington Street Art Center houses Gallery 321, hosts studio space for more than twenty visual artists, and presents exhibitions, concerts, film series, and other art initiatives. The Center participates in Somerville Open Studios each May and an annual open studios and craft fair in December.

The Washington Street Art Center is between Union Square and Beacon Street: a five-minute walk from Union Square and a ten-minute walk from Harvard Square (two blocks from Beacon Street). The Center is near or on the following bus routes: 87, 83, 86, 91. Parking is free and ample.
