Acrylic and colored pencil on cotton fabric pillowcase
$750
Artist Statement:
The Matilda Effect Series amplifies and preserves history from the female identifying perspective using didactic panels to foreground the accomplishments of women astronomers, scientists, inventors, creators, leaders and resisters, any women of note in history from the female perspective. Using household objects, she represents how women are applauded as supporters in domestic settings, while women’s major world changing enterprises in other non-domestic arenas go unrecognized and unrecorded.
