Sarah- Joy Ford presents a new body of work following several years of research in the Lesbian Archive Collection at Glasgow Women’s Library.

About

Archives and Amazons examines what it means to look backward through a largely unknown history, an exercise in taking pleasure in identification, recognition and connection with the lesbian pasts represented in the archive. Using quilt as a methodology, Ford has responded to and re-visioned archival material, each stitch is a mediation between the feelings, sensations, and pleasures of exploring lesbian pasts, creating a new legacy for lesbian lives in every thread.
