The entire Heresies Collective publications - A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics - are now available on-line at: http://helios.hampshire.edu/nomorenicegirls/heretics/ I saw a notice in an earlier Heresies Magazine about an upcoming issue on Women and Traditional Arts requesting articles on an artist we admired. I kept racking my brain and wondering who I could write about for this issue, AND then I realized, of course, my own mother who I always thought of NOT as an artist in any way, but rather as the person who was always working supporting the family income through her dress-making/tailoring. A switch went off in my brain and I FINALLY appreciated that my mother was an ARTIST as well. And then when I interviewed her, I realized that her process, designing and sewing a dress was very much like my own when I painted and drew. I wrote an article for Issue #4 interviewing my mother on her art - which was sewing. http://helios.hampshire.edu/nomorenicegirls/heretics/pdf/heresies4.pdf Go to p.77 There is also a movie of the Heresies group called HERETICS coming out soon which is about the collective. Below is a 10 minute trailer for the upcoming film.
