“The Modern Woman Wears Knowledge” is a wearable sculpture made out of newspaper pages and book pages that replicates the style of Victorian era women’s hats to reference the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the changing societal standards. Both a critique of the expectations and influence that originally placed women in a role of meek and beautiful obedience, and a hopeful portrayal of the evolution of beauty standards that have begun to focus less on appearance and more on intellectual thinking, this piece seeks to communicate that while great strides have been made, there is still much work to be done to achieve gender equality.

“Tread Softly- W.B. Yeats,” 2009

A series of ten tiny zines. Each accordion-style book opens to reveal an array of black and white photographs. Covers + text have been silk screened. For those interested, the text that binds the book reads as follows:

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

W.B. Yeats

- Sam

Oh wow, that is one of my all-time favorite poems! I hand-stitched it onto an 6ft illustrated quilt I made two years ago for an exhibition :)
