Blue Chip Earth: A Win Win
A Win Win is both a call to action and a charitable response from HubbyCo and the collector of the work. It is an artwork that passes the baton to the planet, declaring the earth is of the highest value. The charitable beneficiaries of A Win Win value science, reform, and preservation.
Blue Chip Earth: Nature Nurture
Nature Nurture is a response to the earth's siren call for us to turn our focus in it's direction, using the artist's self portrait holding a living plant right in front of her face as a literal symbol as to what is needed. 20% of each edition sold will be donated to Tree People, Los Angeles, a non profit devoted to inspiring, engaging, and supporting people to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun and sustainable and to share our process as a model for the world.
Blue Chip Earth: Power Pose
The Power Pose up-reaching figure represents the self-nudges or tweaks to body language and inner language that can produce psychological and behavioral improvements in the moment. By being aware of one’s stance and choice of words, can brain-train oneself into a new paradigm. This figurine correlates with the exhibition Positively Earnest and the one-of-a-kind InWord t-shirts and screen prints. The charitable beneficiaries support well-being, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Blue Chip Earth: Baby Goat
Baby Goat pictorializes Hubby's ongoing practice of utilizing the pure beauty and innocence of animals to cheer the viewer. The presence of animals affects the viewer’s emotional response to the work, which Hubby has repeatedly utilized in her series With Animals. It is a not so subtle attempt to woo and calm. The charitable beneficiaries support wildlife conservation, the welfare of all animals, thriving together with humans.
Blue Chip Earth: The Sexual Bronze Hubby
The Sexual Bronze Hubby is a self portrait of Hubby holding a tray of a few of her sculptural pairings from THE SEXUAL BRONZE SHOW series. The composition of the figurine is a nod to Paul Gauguin's painting of a woman holding a tray of luscious fruit: Two Tahitian Women. The charitable beneficiaries support ending hunger and poverty.
Blue Chip Earth: Forever BOOBS
Forever BOOBS, the first in the series, is devoted to Thanks for the Mammaries, Hubby's humor-filled approach to her experience with breast cancer. The charitable beneficiaries support breast cancer research and alternative medicine.
