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.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
“THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
This is one of our all-time favorites, which we did to encourage female artists to look on the sunny side. Women all over the world, not just artists, identify with it. One sent us $1,000 to run it as an ad in Artforum, a top U.S. art magazine.”
Guerrilla Girls, 1989.

Each code is an individual letter of the alphabet; so far it's letters A - L.
12/36. One third done. It’s really nice to have a project that doesn’t take months/years to complete.
This represents about five hours work. It's not the sewing that takes so much time, but the jumping around, finding the next spot, occasionally undoing, realising you've forgotten a solitary N somewhere and finding the thread out again just to fill in that one letter. This is just under half of the planned piece. It's William Blake's 'The Divine Image'.
QR sampler update. Letters A-D. Detail of C & D. C was so incredibly time consuming. It would take a lot to convince me I needed to do that again.
Added some drizzle stitches.
