This is the main tumblog of Silvie Kilgallon. I'm a conceptual artist and my work is largely influenced by my academic interests in classics, ancient history, translation, and philosophy of language. This blog details conceptual, casual and personal projects on which I am currently working. To see the Stitched Iliad project, please check out the Stitched Iliad blog below.

Far left is plaited braid stitch. Took me a couple of attempts to get the rhythm sorted.
This is something I made a few months ago now, whilst procrastinating and avoiding other projects. I guess it's a combination of my Iliad project, and another piece I was working on - The Text Gazes Back (of which there are photos on my website: www.theclassicist.co.uk).
It's the emotional states of characters throughout book one, represented by emoticons. Every row represents a different scene.
“THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
