Celebrating
the gift of work by artist Fay Pullen Fairbrother given
by prominent Atlanta artist Lucinda Bunnen to the Emory
Women's Center, the exhibit will partially reconstruct
the last projects created by the late Fairbrother, a
multi-faceted artist working in photographs, fabric,
and sculpture. The series of photographs entitled, "Self-Portrait:
Grief," document her battle with cancer —
which ultimately took her life. A 3rd generation quilt
maker, she was most widely known for addressing issues
concerning family strengths, fears, and repression.
Both her photographs and many of her quilts were finally
incorporated into an installation entitled, "Caged
Spirits," which used birdcages filled with various
objects to symbolizing her work addressing women's oppression.
