There is a fascinating link between women artists who get their voices across through the use of text within art. Words become an image. Contemporary female artist Meg Hitchcock “examines and dissects the word of God, deconstructing a sacred text by cutting its individual letters, and reassembling them to form a passage from another holy book.” Her text drawings give voice to her personal journey as a spiritual seeker.
Other works discussed in this episode include women artists who explore text and collage.
