Item Special Note
A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T
"The 70's work was about the visceral and orgasmic body and the inevitability of change; The 80's was about the earth, halting the arms race, uniting women from warring nations; In the 90's my aim was to shine a feminist lens with scholarly inquiry into ancient texts and practices that omit or deny the presence/input of women; In the 00's the G-D work has become more autobiographical regarding my ultra orthodox background.
In 1979, I was part of the first conference on Eco-feminism in Amherst, Mass; I saw the body of the land and the visceral body as connected.
After hearing Dr. Helen Caldicott speak of the Arms Race, I drove an Earth Ambulance to military S.A.C. sites in the 80's to dramatize concern for the health of the Earth and concern for the danger of the Arms Race.
After dealing with the military mindset throughout the 80's, I realized early in the 90's that G-D (whatever G-D may be) had to be liberated from patriarchal projections and that I had to deal with my orthodox identity issues."
-- Helène Aylon
