| Sailing with John, cotton embroidery thread on canvas by Rebecca Soudant |
The earlier piece, "A tapestry of birth" is a thirty five foot documentation of the artist's first pregnancy . For more photos and information about the artist, click here.
I believe I'm directly contradicting the way human beings are represented in our society.
I think the universal is the male.
And so in my deliberately turning this around and trying to universalize the female -
-the rites of passage for women-
birth, puberty, child-birth, death

would become the universal.
I tried to challenge myself to look at the world as I wanted to,
as a woman artist,
realizing the complexities of doing so because the world isn't really that way.

Oh, my goodness me....such a special piece.
thank you so much for pointing this artist out to me, Judy. Also, the Nancy Spero quote because it has been too long since I looked at/read anything she has created. -sus
Fantastic! Love the panel with the bats, and the man "holding water" especially.
A woman who takes control over her own story, is a powerful joy.
Interesting work. It reminds me of Matisse, mostly "A tapestry of birth", though the artistic concept of both artists is completely different.
