PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Andrea Pappas is Associate Professor at Santa Clara University. She has published on topics ranging from the Renaissance to the present and is particularly interested in the work of people on the margins or in overlooked artifacts.
'By isolating the contingent details found within these embroidered landscapes, Pappas foregrounds the economic, geographical, and horticultural knowledge possessed by the women who produced them... Overarchingly, Embroidering the Landscape: Women, Art and the Environment in British North America, 1740–1770 is an important contribution to the study of visual culture as well as the complex ecosystem of British North America with its dependence upon a global economy for its very survival. This much-needed study will complement the fields of American art, decorative arts, environmental history, and women’s studies.’ – Nancy Siegel, CAA Reviews 'Pappas has, like the New England women and their embroidered landscapes she studies, fashioned a colorful, intricate, and well-crafted (in every sense of the word) volume that reminds us of our physical and figurative connections to the natural world, not to mention the various means through which we might continue to represent such associations. This is a master class in material cultural analysis, which further demonstrates why scholars must look beyond “traditional” sources in weaving together our frayed but vibrant past.’ – Vaughn Scribner, H-Net Reviews: H-Environment
