Description
Printed for the solo exhibition, Coni Minneci: Mothers of Invention - Real Women Who Rock, from September 18 - October 17, 2020, at Meibohm Fine Arts, East Aurora, NY. The exhibit catalog showcases thirty-six modestly scaled, mixed media artworks by Coni Minneci (American, born 1950) honoring twenty-six historic and contemporary women inventors. In addition to researching the women and their inventions, she challenged herself to incorporate multiple references to their inventions in the artworks and, in many cases, this involved actually using the materials they invented. The resulting artworks, hybrids of painting and assemblage, are thoughtfully conceived and expertly constructed and took Coni five years to complete.
