| description | This article analyzes American visual artist Tamar Stone’s artists’ books collections. These exquisite pieces challenge the female ideal of beauty and established gender roles, through representations of the body, anatomic and medical drawings and personal accounts; all of which are either printed or embroidered on vintage fabrics that function as layers of women’s history. Tamar Stone creates three-dimensional and sensuous books that provide the reader with an artistic platform to project anxieties about physical appearances, social duties, health, pain and memory. |
