I saw an Eames Armstrongs link to JA facebook friends page. OK so this is my take on Eames Armstrong's art which you can see on her Facebook as well as on her web page. If you go to her website you can get a starting point about what "interests" her. She writes "noise is a metaphor for the unwanted or undesirable, an open potential for transformation through abstraction, and a strategy of resistance against rigid or normalizing structures..." and specifically she goes on to say, " I’m interested in conflict and difficulty, complicated gestures, and the ritual celebration of confusion and illegibility." Right...so when you take this starting point and you inject it into the context of sexuality you can start to understand what some of her art may be celebrating or at the very least empathizing with..hint..the sexualization children maybe? Take for example the home page image on her website of one of her more recent paintings called "Thong Dungeon" My first impression about this "piece" or P.O.S. is that it is an obvious attempt at blurring the line between sexuality, innocence, and the perverse or profane. The sexual aspect is obvious: mostly naked people in thongs in what appears to an orgy of BDSM nature. The innocence is conveyed through the overtly used primary colors (pinks and blues), in conjunction with the ambiguous "smiley" faces, and the seemingly adult scaled bodies with the lack of developed genitals. The perverse or profane element of the painting is how the scene takes place in a dungeon in the middle of a traumatic moment that may convey violence (one smaller character appears to be on its knees with throat cut), fear, catharsis, and regret all at the same time (sounds like the perfect description of a ritual abuse scenario). What is most curious about the style of painting is how the "artist" is able to confuse who is adult and who is child, and I believe this is fundamental to her work and very intentional in this painting. For instance, some of the people in the painting are smaller in scale while others look more in control. Some of her other paintings of children are more obvious in that distinction but this one achieves a higher level of confusion. In my opinion this "artist" is obviously tipping her hat and winking an eye to this sycophantic pedo culture, or at the very least is empathizing with the players in it. In fact, I think this dungeon looks very much like an abstraction of the infamous J.A. kill room even including the detail of the mechanical vent that one of the characters is desperately reaching for to escape! Of course the nature of her art or art in general is that the interpretation of it provides and endless flow of plausible deniability toward any attempt to implicate or allege. So there is no solid evidence here really. This is just something i noticed about the chilling nature of this "art" and the "artist" behind it, and further confirms why J.A. would have a friend in Armstrong.

Housekeeping NOTE: Could someone please archive the pedo-style images on Armstrong's website.
