forcing
a re-examination of pop art and creating a new story of the movement from art
and artists now being rediscovered.
Among
them is Dorothy Grebenak, who created handmade hooked rugs depicting a
"Tide Box," a "Bugatti" logo, a "Two Dollar Bill"
and a Babe Ruth baseball card, all of which are on view in the Sheldon
exhibition.
By using
the laborious hand-hooking technique and fiber as her material, Grebenak
introduced the traditionally feminine into pop, making something functional
(they could easily be on a floor) and an art object visually appealing enough
to hang on the wall.
Laborious? . . .
no I think not as we rug hookers love to create while we are hooking just as one would by painting a painting. . time is not important . . . .in the creation of real art . . . .
I was thrilled to discover this rug hooker that I had never heard of before . . .
