My father was a booming presence in my life. He was handsome, engaging, and hardworking.  In his dedication to us, he instilled the values of family, discipline, and earnings.  He believed in the goodness of people and in what our country could be.  In my mind, he wears a royal crown.

I’ve always been the one who was “too much.” Too much energy, too much noise, to much desire. It used to make me pull back or watch who was around me, but now I know that I like how much I am. It takes a lot of energy to manifest all that I want, and I have it.

An ode to my mother, a woman who exemplified grace. She was the most stylish, composed lady. The only physical thing I have left of her is an emerald ring she gave me before she passed. Wear your love, and wear it well.

2020: Unraveled is a visual compilation of the deep-rooted issues that have come to a head in 2020. At its foundation is a literal heap of detritus that is growing so large that it is literally beginning to tear apart the fabric of American society. Not only has social equity begun to decay further, but also the very environment that humans call home. Greed and waste have set fires and floods in our hearts and on our planet. Since the foundation of the United States, these conflicts have been covered with platitudes or swept under the image of “the greatest nation in the world.” In this piece, the viewer is confronted with the fact that injustice is no longer staying hidden and that we must come back together to make something new.

It’s time to reflect on the beauty of gathering with friends and family, even in difficult times.  The morning is quiet, the kids are still asleep, and life has little movement.  So peaceful.

ARTIST STATEMENT

With “Hanging by a Thread,” Ann Golumbuk asks the viewer to physically grapple with the issue of women’s mass incarceration. Women and girls represent the fastest growing populations in jails and prisons, and often their imprisonment is a result of being forced into prostitution and
trafficking or of committing offenses tied to escaping abuse.

This life-size jumpsuit that echoes Ann’s own iconic orange painter’s coveralls has been transformed to a corporeal image that is entirely devoid of an actual body. In covering the suit in mugshots and numbers, Ann speaks to the dehumanization of women who are often victims rather than perpetrators. Perhaps most poignantly, Ann places unnamed images of women in the back pocket, demonstrating how their abusers manipulate and constrict the lives of these women, leaving them hanging by a
single thread.

“Stop Holding Back” is a dynamic call to action created by San Diego artist Ann Golumbuk. Women have been told for centuries to take up less space, to downplay their successes, and to quietly fit into roles made for them. This staggering mixed media piece defies a tradition of
holding back and galvanizes women to own their individual value and worth.

The visual push and pull of this work allow the viewer to empathize with the weighty disorientation of societal pressure and the need to break down barriers. In a world that seems to accept the moral and social injustices of our time, the message of “Stop Holding Back” has never been more relevant.
