HUTTON, Agatha
description: Endless Beauty, 2001
description: Wood box, wax, ribbon
description: "My work deals with the femininity of a woman, as she struggles not only be a part of society's workforce, but also to maintain her appearance as changes are brought about through aging. Instead of a small wooden box, I have cast a larger box from wax, not only to enhance its appearance but also to give it that sense of being alive. The box itself is wrapped up with skin and it is this skin that is stacked inside the box in repetitive folds. The wrapped box together with the repetitive skin represents the struggles of a modern woman in the community, to which she has, to balance between society and the family, and yet maintain her endless beauty for society." - Agatha Hutton

LYE, Dorathy
description: Make Up, 2001
description: Wood box, perfume bottles, make-up containers and brushes, mirror
description: "The title, Make Up, is chosen as it refers not only to the cosmetics we women apply on our faces, but also to other connotations--to fabricate, to supplement, to collect, to put together, to parcel, to put into shape, and to arrange-- all of which formed part of the procss in its making. Make Up looks at the notion of wholeness with reference to the obsession women to be or be seen as psychologically and physically sufficient. The mirror on the top of the box reflects the viewer's face, thus engaging/making him/her as a subject. Hence, the artwork questions a woman's need and her behavior in wanting to "fit in" through the act of supplementing her appearance with cosmetics. Is the woman's quest to Make Up her complete self destined to fail?" - Dorathy Lye

Do you know that although they are made of simple, natural materials such as different types of bamboo and palm leaves, they have covered us during rainy and sunny seasons.

We plead you, we implore you, dear God, dear people, dear brothers, little brothers and sisters, give us a tomb, a safe tomb, with shroud made of sweetness, a place to console us, a nice place, to erase the infamy, a beautiful tomb, for us!" - Veronique Simar

description: Until Death Do Us Part, 1995
description: Wood box, paint, fabric, thread
description: "In my home country, Japan, there is a legend for girls that says that their prospective husbands have their little toes tied up to them with an invisible red thread. I used to believe in this legend as well. In my opinion, it is wonderful to be able to believe in such a thing. Since we're infants, we are educated to play a role either as a woman or as man. I still remember when I used to play house-dolls with my friends and how much we enjoyed playing the mother's role, like all the mothers of every mother. It is a simple but very pleasing memory that all women have inside. However, nowadays I often feel a victim of the male order and often wonder what I can do about it. I was thinking of this as I was making this box and I felt like I was playing with dolls again because I was doing typical housework tasks such as sewing, washing, and ironing. I hope you will tender my piece during the traveling exhibition as if it were our collective memory, which men will never be able to understand. And please, wash it and iron it when needed." - Akané Asaoka

It is a shrine, a shelter, an obelisk for all those people and countries whose future has been brutally marred and who are denied the chance of generating personal and collective memories. For, as every stone touches another stone, so does memory--it is created by an ageless, unbreakable bond between the past, present, and future. The stones used are ancient Byzantine mosaice cubes collected from near an archaeological site in Palestine. The mortar to fix the cubes together is an old Palestinian building recipe." - Vera Tamari

My box is filled with a series of women's names (two hundred) of all nationalities from antiquity to the present, printed in capital letters, in different colors on white paper tags. Each of the names brings into mind images of a woman we know, we read, we are, or we want to be. This box filled with names, which come out from all gour sides, becomes almost invisible and signifies the power, the strength, the importance, the influence and the voice we women could achieve working together, for our rights against violence and discrimination at the beginning of the next millenium." - Jenny Marketou
