Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.

final project
in one of my textile classes we talked a lot about how wool/felt as a material tends to make any object look soft. in a project for that class i tried very hard to take the softness out of felt in an attempt to render the word “pain,” and with some careful wet and dry felting (i think) i succeeded. sort of expanding on that idea, for this project i have an awesome anvil (used for shoeing horses) that is EXTREMELY heavy that i am going to copy in felt. i plan to take the dimensions exactly, but sew and stuff the object and sort of rob it of its cold density.
