BEAUTY AS CURRENCY Opening Reception

“BEAUTY AS CURRENCY” examines Paige Greeley’s experience as a Western woman and analyzes her previous adherence to the concept of “beauty as currency.” Combining her advocacy work on a sexual assault crisis hotline and her own exploitation, she creates visceral and figurative oil paintings that examine the perennial dangers of “beauty as currency” and the abuse it inflicts on women. Greeley currently works as a birth doula in Philadelphia, supporting new mothers and parents in pregnancy, children, and postpartum.
