Threads of Resistance: “Knitting and embroidery are laden with stereotypes of domestic femininity – and the subversive potential for protest.”
Wonderful essay by Gemma McKenzie showcasing ways textile art has been used as a tool of protest by women. I was especially blown away by the embroidered scrolls of Lorina Bulwer – WOW. The rage!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
