Andrea Kalinowski's Stories Untold weaves together the
particular stories of Jewish women's lives in the American West
with quilt patterns that stand for women's culture of the period
in general. The magic of the work is in its willingness to let
the women speak for themselves through their own writings and
images. Combining tropes of feminist art from the 1970s together
with the technical sophistication and awareness of mediating
visions from the present day, Kalinowski's project allows us
to peer into a past that is just beginning tobecome visible.
Following the lead of artists such as Faith Ringgold, Kalinowski
engages the social context of quilts and quiltmaking while exploring
new media. We are starting to piece together the multiple histories
of the American West and the contributions of these and other
Jewish women are part of those quilts of history.
