| Summary |
"Epp Buller's and Reeve's anthology showcases an array of rich and diverse work. The three sections, 'Body Politics,' 'Family Practices' and 'By Design,' comprise overlapping yet distinct discussions of individual artists, critical theory, personal testaments, interviews and conversations, while employing a multiplicity of approaches to the still controversial discussion of the maternal body in visual art, performance and design. The design section was a revelation to me in its consideration of the constraints placed upon the maternal body in the constructed environment. Inappropriate Bodies is a welcome addition to the as yet under-represented field of maternal studies"--Provided by publisher |
