'A Passage in Women's Sculpture'. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2010, Pages: 244
This book presents one contemporary lineage of women sculptors, whose work comes from a site of domestic experience developed via a passage of alterity into sculptural form, using a haptic 'hands on' manner of material making. This lineage is offered partially in response to Rosalind Krauss's 1977 'Passages in Modern Sculpture' which gave an almost exclusively male lineage for the development of the modern 'extended field' of Western sculpture practice. The 'passage' outlined in this book introduces women sculptors, who were trained by all male tutors, who subsequently become tutors themselves, significantly widening the teaching of sculpture in Fine Art Departments of Colleges and Universities. It outlines certain changes in both the teaching and making of sculpture and the author's own experience of these changes.
