I would like to be working on this head, any of my unfinished heads, but I have to continue with chapter 2 of my dissertation.
In the first chapter I was happy looking at the work of Elizabeth Parker (V&A) Lorina Bulwer (Norwich Castle Museum) and Agnes Richter (Heidelberg Museum) – going to see her jacket next week. They all stitched their narrative into fabric…..so obvious! to compare them to our Tracey Emin.
Not much written on my 19th century ladies but So much written about our Tracey. Her blankets are vibrant, crude, exciting, what would my ladies have made of them. Possibly died of shock, their angst was kept secret, not meant for others to see.
Our Tracey has turned her traumas into a Selfie, and we can all make one now.
