ldquoShE LEft foR good onE tIME But CAME BACkrdquo March 1 ndash 30 2013

ldquoShe Left For Good One Time But Came Backrdquo is a series of 53 paintings by North Dakota native Shelly Julian Bunde currently touring through the North Dakota Art Gallery Association The collaged works depict one fictional (but familiar) woman for every county in North Dakota and include a short biographical sketch the sort of tidbit one might recall about a character from onersquos childhood

In the paintings every woman or girl but one is identified by her husbandrsquos grandfatherrsquos fatherrsquos or even father-in-lawrsquos name Bunde recalls that when she was a girl women were regularly addressed by and addressed themselves by their husbandrsquos name like ldquoMrs John Kuntzrdquo for example Growing up in North Dakota in the 1970s Bunde says she was unaware of the Womenrsquos Movement happening at that time but observed that her mother and the women around her were extremely competent and hard-working busy raising children doing heavy chores and in their ldquosparerdquo time running clubs and making crafts of every imaginable kind Still recipes submitted to the church cookbook were credited to the likes of ldquoMrs Lyle Olsonrdquo It was puzzling to her as a girl

In these paintings Bunde tries to bring the womanrsquos story into the foreground just a littlemdashbut not too much remembering that most of the women she knew would not likely have drawn attention to themselves

The paintings are collaged with pieces of North Dakota road maps vintage fabric and other tidbits

ldquoThese paintings grew out of a time of traveling home to North Dakota to care for my ailing grandparents over several years I took many side trips to visit prairie churches cemeteries and small town cafesmdashthe kind of stuff a home-sick North Dakotan does when she ldquocomes homerdquo It was a time of feeling nostalgic and a little melancholyrdquo

ldquoShE LEft foR good onE tIME But CAME BACkrdquo March 1 ndash 30 2013

ldquoShe Left For Good One Time But Came Backrdquo is a series of 53 paintings by North Dakota native Shelly Julian Bunde currently touring through the North Dakota Art Gallery Association The collaged works depict one fictional (but familiar) woman for every county in North Dakota and include a short biographical sketch the sort of tidbit one might recall about a character from onersquos childhood

In the paintings every woman or girl but one is identified by her husbandrsquos grandfatherrsquos fatherrsquos or even father-in-lawrsquos name Bunde recalls that when she was a girl women were regularly addressed by and addressed themselves by their husbandrsquos name like ldquoMrs John Kuntzrdquo for example Growing up in North Dakota in the 1970s Bunde says she was unaware of the Womenrsquos Movement happening at that time but observed that her mother and the women around her were extremely competent and hard-working busy raising children doing heavy chores and in their ldquosparerdquo time running clubs and making crafts of every imaginable kind Still recipes submitted to the church cookbook were credited to the likes of ldquoMrs Lyle Olsonrdquo It was puzzling to her as a girl

In these paintings Bunde tries to bring the womanrsquos story into the foreground just a littlemdashbut not too much remembering that most of the women she knew would not likely have drawn attention to themselves

The paintings are collaged with pieces of North Dakota road maps vintage fabric and other tidbits

ldquoThese paintings grew out of a time of traveling home to North Dakota to care for my ailing grandparents over several years I took many side trips to visit prairie churches cemeteries and small town cafesmdashthe kind of stuff a home-sick North Dakotan does when she ldquocomes homerdquo It was a time of feeling nostalgic and a little melancholyrdquo

This exhibition is sponsored by the North Dakota Art Gallery Association with support from the North Dakota Council on the Arts
