(1199) IMMA DUÑACH GIRONELLA - The woman at the well, 2021

About this artwork
Since all my previous works were made in self-chosen postcards and illustrations, it has been a very pleasant challenge to work with a given page from the Newnes’ Pictorial Knowledge 1950’s Encyclopedia (Edited by Enid Blyton). Through embroidery, considered as a mainly woman handcraft, my intention is to make visible not only the marked trend to make women invisible but also their underestimation through history.
Let me share with you the first three articles of the Convention on the Political Rights of Women:
Article I
Women shall be entitled to vote in all elections on equal terms with men, without any discrimination.
Article II
Women shall be eligible for election to all publicly elected bodies, established by national law, on equal terms with men, without any discrimination.
Article III
Women shall be entitled to hold public office and to exercise all public functions, established by national law, on equal terms with men, without any discrimination.
About Imma
Imma (@lalimalimonart) has a degree on Art History and worked for more than 20 years in the cultural sector organizing exhibitions and publishing art books. At the end of 2019 she decided to start creating her own works.
She transforms and re-contextualizes found images, postcards and other found illustrations through a contemporary, three-dimensional perspective.
Postcards are part of our memory, frequent reminders from places briefly visited. We filed, classified and look at them to remember. Nowadays they have been replaced for thousands of digital images, but we still can find those pieces of memory in the flea markets.
She begins to develop her work digging in her grandparents archive, reviewing those highly anhelate and remembered trips from the sixties. At present her collection also includes old postcards collected from different places.
Through interventions with needlework, thread, and in some occasion’s watercolor or collage, the postcards are mended to change their original meaning.
