SUMMARY:Margo Duvall - The Tie That Binds @ AOM
DESCRIPTION:Margo Duvall’s artwork investigates photography’s role in the development of memory and identity through film\, mixed media and installation based pieces. “The idea for this piece came to me a year ago. One of the strongest women I know found herself in a situation beyond her control. She felt like her world was crumbling and there was little to grab hold to. I wanted to make her a net…a network of strong\, amazing women to catch her\, to reassure her\, and to lift her back to where she needed to be. Through this process of making this piece and watching this strong\, amazing woman regain her personal power\, I have never been more sure…the women are certainly stronger.” \nChloe & Joe Kirksey Gallery \nBIO \nMargo Duvall is an artist and educator currently living in Little Rock\, AR. She earned her MFA in Photography from San Jose State University (2009) and her BA in Studio Art from Humboldt State University (2006). She currently teaches at the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville\, AR. \nDuvall’s artwork investigates photography’s role in the development of memory and identity through film\, mixed media and installation-based pieces. She has received recognition as an artist with numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts annual Delta Exhibition\, Arkansas Arts Council’s Small Works on Paper\, Ft. Smith’s Regional Art Museum\, and many more. \nMargo Duvall: https://www.margoduvall.com/

SUMMARY:Steel Magnolias......@ KOH
DESCRIPTION:The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin\, Louisiana\, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant\, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married)\, the outspoken\, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon\, Ouiser\, (“I’m not crazy\, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire\, Miss Clairee\, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader\, M’Lynn\, whose daughter\, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town)\, is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions\, the play moves toward tragedy when\, in the second act\, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others\, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play\, and its characters\, the special quality to make them truly touching\, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

SUMMARY:Steel Magnolias......@ KOH
DESCRIPTION:The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin\, Louisiana\, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant\, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married)\, the outspoken\, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon\, Ouiser\, (“I’m not crazy\, I’ve just been in a bad mood for forty years”); an eccentric millionaire\, Miss Clairee\, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader\, M’Lynn\, whose daughter\, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town)\, is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions\, the play moves toward tragedy when\, in the second act\, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others\, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play\, and its characters\, the special quality to make them truly touching\, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
