This is the main tumblog of Silvie Kilgallon. I'm a conceptual artist and my work is largely influenced by my academic interests in classics, ancient history, translation, and philosophy of language. This blog details conceptual, casual and personal projects on which I am currently working. To see the Stitched Iliad project, please check out the Stitched Iliad blog below.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
“THE ADVANTAGES OF BEING A WOMAN ARTIST
This is one of our all-time favorites, which we did to encourage female artists to look on the sunny side. Women all over the world, not just artists, identify with it. One sent us $1,000 to run it as an ad in Artforum, a top U.S. art magazine.”
Guerrilla Girls, 1989.

And of course this is the other thing I spent my weekend working on. I'm about 25% done. Book 2 is the longest book of the Iliad, at 877 lines. I'm around line 220.
I'm working on this book a lot more slowly than I did book 1. But I wasn't also working for a PhD when I did book 1. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
I'm hoping I can finish this whole project at around the same time I finish my PhD, which gives me 3-4 years more.
Day 37.
Far left is plaited braid stitch. Took me a couple of attempts to get the rhythm sorted.
Added some drizzle stitches.
This is something I made a few months ago now, whilst procrastinating and avoiding other projects. I guess it's a combination of my Iliad project, and another piece I was working on - The Text Gazes Back (of which there are photos on my website: www.theclassicist.co.uk).
It's the emotional states of characters throughout book one, represented by emoticons. Every row represents a different scene.
