Constellations No. 1

SUSAN HARBAGE PAGE Painting | 2018   Featuring the intense colors one can only find in gouache paint on 200-300 year old Italian book pages, Constellations explores textile production and traditional forms of gendered labor both in the U.S. and Italy.  Her gendered body unites the past with the present as she works back into the marginalia of these pages produced and written largely by males at a time when many women were not taught to read.   Size 12 x 16.25 inches - Unframed   Materials Gouache on handmade Canapa paper   Authenticity Certificate of Authenticity
