Donna McCullough bases this series from her vivid recollections of family gatherings in the 50's and 60's: to her, the women inevitably ended up in the kitchen cooking, talking and washing dishes. Using fashion, McCullough now celebrates the women who lived in those decades when society imposed strict domestic regulations. Through her artwork she explores these outgrown notions of gender roles and honors the women who filled them.

The piece "Memory Garden" is the first in a new series by McCullough that addresses issues of mourning and loss. The rusted, weathered nature of the steel and the twining, leafing vines lends a sense of enduring age and nostalgia to the piece; illustrating how family and friends who have passed on continue to live in our memories and grow within us as we grow.

In this series of work entitled, Drill Team Girls, thematic elements are two-fold. The imitation of cheerleading outfits constructed from vintage gas and oil cans simultaneously comments on both the struggle of popularity and angst among young women as well as our society's reliance on oil and how governmental units encourage, or cheer, that dependency.
