My
interview with Helen Chadwick entitled Indifference
in Difference (originally published in MAKE magazine, Issue.71, 1996) has
been selected for inclusion in the forthcoming publication, The MAKE Anthology: Reviewing
the Past and Looking to the Future of Women's Art Practice (eds.)
Maria Walsh and Mo Throp (I. B. Tauris, 2014). "With the recent resurgence of interest in the history of women's art practice by art students, art historians and artists in the UK ... the contributions to MAKE are crucial to the framing of current issues in women's art practices ... to set a new foundation for the understanding of women's art practices in the twenty-first century." More to follow soon.
