Description
The Illuminations Project is a decade-long collaboration between two artists, feminists and friends. Shary Boyle and Emily Vey Duke's visionary call-and-response artwork forges connections between drawing and writing to create an exquisitely rendered road map through the chaos of growing up female, fearless and hungry for meaning. Looking for an alternative to the convention in which images illustrate texts and texts explicate images, the artists developed a more associative method of combining words and pictures based upon a long-distance correspondence between 2003 and 2010.
