Women in the Art World
A collection of inspiring art made by female artists.

Mary Ellen Mark.
All of Mark’s work is sensational, but as of right now Ward 81 is my favorite. The series features a women’s ward in the Oregon State Mental Hospital. One line in the prologue really struck me: ”The women on this ward are considered dangerous to themselves or to others.”
Mark has this ability to show humanity in the strangest of places, forcing the viewer to invest and connect with her odd characters.(Source: maryellenmark.com)
