Paisley is a Feminist Issue

Paisley is a Feminist Issue

I’ve been delving deeper into feminist thought; discussing and thinking about appropriation, privilege and entitlement in body image but I’ve also re-thought my own usage of paisley and where it has come from. While I have always recognised that my usage of the symbol references appropriation, I had not thought of it (or any aspect of design really) as a feminist issue.

This is my first attempt at photographing my works, as wood does not scan very well!

Ink on plywood, 220×320mm

    Love this- as a ex-textile designer, I am pretty familiar with the world of paisley, and also with a profession managed mostly by men, but one where most of the work is done by underpaid women. (We call it a “pink ghetto”)

    Oooh I hadn’t heard of the “pink ghetto” concept but I can totally understand it!
