Today&#8217;s guest on ART FOR YOUR EAR is New York based artist and illustrator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambervittoria.com\/\">Amber Vittoria<\/a>. We have been overlapping on projects throughout this crazy quarantine, so clearly I took that as a sign from the universe to get her on the podcast! Amber works almost exclusively with the female form, which \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 I asked her about. Turns out, she worked in advertising at the beginning of her career, and found that she couldn\u2019t relate at <em>all<\/em> to the images of women being used \u2013 so she started creating her own, very stylized bodies. Anyway, we\u2019ll start at the beginning and work our way up to those stories! We recorded this a couple of weeks ago, knee deep in lockdown so take a listen right up there under that curvy, flower-carrying lady, or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/jealous-curator-art-for-your\/id996338562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/jealous-curator-art-for-your\/id996338562\">subscribe right here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>First up, the results of a six week artist residency she did earlier this year at Facebook&#8217;s Analog Lab in New York:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/22\/femininity-her-way\/ambervittoria2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-36219\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36219\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ambervittoria2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"6178\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See why I asked her about these pieces? I love the work so much, <em>and<\/em> her reasons behind this series:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Inspired by the modern embrace of individuality within office spaces, this\u00a0risograph poster series leverages bright and colorful portraits of women heading into work. Historically, women and their personalities tend to be quieted or ignored within an office setting; these portraits aim to be a playful nod to celebrate how society has began to empathize with womanhood and the stories, thoughts, and ideas women bring to the table.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Amazing, right?!
