book project, pages 89 and 90

This book is titled 'Women and Other Women' by Hildegarde Hawthorn. These are photos of the 89th and 90th pages, the front and back of the 23rd 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 stitching a, and the back/reverse stitchings, which are often more interesting than the fronts. 

Sewing is traditionally 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.
