fantastic! I wish I could see the stitches close-up; those ties! that skeleton withe flames for hair! These works are so alive and free - wild and unfettered and inspiring. I love what Joyce said about the tactile joys of needle and thread. I feel the same. I hated machine quilting and finally let myself hand stitch and was immediately connected with the quilting process. Machine piecing is all right, but hand quilting and embellishing speaks to my soul. This art speaks to my soul. Then to add the history, the stories of the people - Harriet Tubman, slavery, woven into Joyce's work- AND YES - there's no difference between fine art and craft; AMEN.
I just stumbled across this amazing presentation! Thank you so much for sharing. It has educated me uplifted my day and given me a kick up the bum to take no nonsense and make what I need to make, thank you x
Such wonderful sharing. Joyce Scott shines, along with Faith Ringold. I love all these women.
Wonderful presentation, thank you so much.

This was a find after reading about Joyce J. Scott in the most recent issue of Art in America Magazine. Beautiful work and inspired me in my own art
Thank you for sharing such talented and educated African women. This presentation made me feel proud. My mother too is gifted, strong and talented.
