09_FS

09_FS IS A SMALL WALL QUILT 7.5" x 12" & PART OF THE FOLDED STORIES SERIES. IT USES TEXTURED RED FABRIC THAT IS QUITE DELICATE WITH A BLUE COTTON TWILL. THE IMAGE OF A WOMAN IN PIGTAILS WITH RIBBONS IS REMINISCENT OF WOMEN OF MY MOTHER'S GENERATION WHO WORE THEIR HAIR IN PIGTAILS OR BRAIDS IN THE 60'S. THIS COULD BE SEEN AS A SIGN OF BOTH AN INFANTILIZATION OF THE BABY BOOMER WHILE CONTRADICTING THE RISE OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. OR MAYBE ONE WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE OTHER?
