Controversial and probably very tongue in cheek.....and many folk feel that women's work is worth a lot less than men's. Was at an art and craft auction last week and the wood turning (male) went for 10 times what the fiber art (female) did even though the fiber art took a LOT longer to do. I think there's a feeling that anyone can pick up a needle but it takes an expert to work a lathe! If someone can't envisage themselves ever being able to do something they'll value the piece more highly.Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-91948079966234319562011-10-08T06:54:26.558-07:002011-10-08T06:54:26.558-07:00I was doing some internet searching on E.

As a fabric artist I was a little miffed, but does she have a point? I'd be interested in your take. I will need to think it over some more myself.<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2007/aug/13/artMartha C.

She is an amazing talent, and I am so surprised that she doesn't get more press in this country. I think my favorite image of hers is the window with the filmy curtains with pots of geraniums...brilliant! Thanks for introducing us to her...Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499890008603110190noreply@blogger.com
