WOMEN’S WORK by JANE KEDDY
Women’s Work by Jane Keddy is a collection of twenty+ fabric panels illustrating the variation and importance of women’s work during the last 150 years.
The purpose of this project is to honor the history of working women through textiles and hand-colored photographs while also preserving some of the manifestations of their creative handwork. I have added my own hand-decorated, dyed and eco-printed fabrics as well as hand stitching and other embellishments. It is distillation of methods and techniques I have explored over the years. It is also a visual expression of my feminism. The panels vary in size from 14” x 18” to 24” x 40”. The panels are intended to be displayed on a clothesline with clothespins, against a wall. This form of display is an additional commentary on women’s work, the hanging out of laundry. - https://janekeddy.com/
