Faith Wilding
Faith Wilding
is a Paraguayan-American multidisciplinary artist, writer and educator, widely known for her contribution to the progressive development of feminist art.
Womanhouse
1971-72. Landmark collaborative feminist installation in a house in Hollywood, by Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts.
Womanhouse examined and commented on the content, forms, and history of gender roles and of women's maintenance work in the home; and delved into the complex dynamics and relations that have constituted women's separate sphere in the division of labor. Left to right: "Crocheted Environment", "Dining Room", Womanhouse catalog cover.
Body and Soul:
A sculpture based on a common cemetery image of urns with drapery flowing from them which signifies the soul leaving the body. Here, two chemistry vessels--one filled with red, the other with green ink--are connected by a filmy white cloth, that slowly seeps up the colors through capillary action, which creates beautiful, unpredictable stains on the cloth.

Wall of Wounds
Wall of Wounds, 1996, "Feminist Directions", UC Riverside, CA. Installation of l00 6" x 6" Rorschach print and painted "wounds", titled and signed. This piece was an ironic comment on our public victim culture where each person is eager to proclaim h/er own wound. Each wound is thus titled: phallic wound, empathic wound, sexual wound, political wound, psychic wound, etc.

There are memories...
"There are memories I choose not to live with, but we do hang out at the same bar."
"I'm learned this -- that no matter what mood I'm in, something will happen to justify it."
"Between the things you learn to live with and the things you learn to live without, you can learn to be pretty unhappy."
"The mind has this in common with the body -- that it needs a regular bowel movement."
"Somewhere along the line you transition from wanting to be remembered to wanting to be remembered fondly."
An oldie: "Being loved by all is little fun / Unless you're also loved by one."
"It is not until you lose someone you loved too much that you realize you didn't love them too much enough."
"No matter what you accomplish in life, your friends will chalk it up to luck and your relatives to the grace of God."
"I am blessed with the sort of forgettable face that when I make a bad first impression, nobody remembers it was me."
"All I ask of anyone who would judge my sins is that they consider the sins I was capable of."
