Book project: pages 25 and 26

This book is titled 'Women and Other Women' by Hildegarde Hawthorn. These are photos of the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth pages, the front and back of the seventh photo. I'm hand-sewing the photographs into the book, correlating the image with the text on the page. (The text is painted over, but is not opaque.) When you flip through the book, you see the image, the stitchings, and the backside's stitchings, which are sometimes more interesting than the fronts.

Sewing is a woman's task, as is the time spent sewing. White paint is used on house interiors to cover up things that shouldn't be seen. Women are constantly in relation to Other Women.

"If Romance is not to perish from this earth--and who that has ever seen even the least flutter of his rainbow wings could bear to think of such a possibility?--surely then it behooves woman to remain feminine. Let her cherish the finer and nobler elements of her character, let her mind become as broad and as logical as may be, let her know what is real and what worthless..."

This image comes from the second chapter, titled "The Arrival of Woman." It talks about how Woman discovered that she is the same as a man-- a Human Being. However, until Woman starts to hold herself up to the same standards and respect as Man, she won't be treated the same. That is why I sewed the figure to look like she is a marionette, or a puppet on strings.
