The Heart Wants What it Wants, 2010
Paper, woodcuts, letterpress, fabric
Edition of 70; Firebrand Press, Tuscaloosa, AL
TSCPL Permanent Collection
Based on the mythology of the Greek furies, this trilogy explores themes of heartache, longing, and obsession, and
describes how it feels to be set aflame by another.
The artist uses both text and image to tell this story. Would text alone express the complexity of these emotions?
Gown #11 From the 1490s
Item #11 = 1490s - Wedding Tunic - Sleeve Detail
Made of silk fabric and silk cording, the tunic woud have had a longer skirt under the top. Empire waist with a'la' mamelouk gathered sleves and van Dyke point embelleshments near the hem. This gown was made in Germany and was part of the Arizona Jewish pioneer Cerf family. Originally thought to be from the united States in the 1700s, the gown has recently been restored and dated by The National Textile Workshop. The green color on the dress is the salvage dye common to the 1400s in Germany and becomes more visible with age.
Brown spots on the fron tof the gown are caused by the age of the fbric and human hands touching the fabric, leaving a residue of oil that eventually will rot the threads if not preserved. There is no known technique to remove the stain.
