international university click here http digital wolfsonian org wolf002830 00001 search rumsey cary dianne stitched it all by hand and did some ripping resewing and accidentally stitching it to her clothes before getting it done last tuesday she asked friend don harris to paint the face there is much symbolism in the color and fabric choices she wanted to represent the time period 1875 1920 when the fight for the vote was at its most intense she combined william morris prints art nouveau art deco a collection of fabrics called valley of the kings to represent the archaeology going on at the time a damask fabric to represent all the damask tablecloths women have had to iron over the years and the black framing is to represent the tracery in the stained glass that is so representative of
