Silverberg, Robbin Ami: text-iles / Need teaches a naked woman weaving text-iles consists of a series of 11 industrial textile bobbins, each with a hanging translucent paper scarf, printed with a proverb about women’s work. The texts were manipulated to create textile-weaving patterns on the paper.
I had found, over the course of reading and research, countless examples of proverbs from around the world that encapsulated those cultures’ perspectives on the role of women and their labors. en., Paper scroll with cuts and handwritten text, bobbin, 7 x 4 inch, Ed. of 11 Unikate, num., sign., New York, 2007 Request of availability backnext
