Art by Eurydice Eve Collection

Eurydice Eve has exhibited her fiber art tapestries and collages in galleries and museums worldwide. Her work delves at the intersection of mythology, pop culture, and personal narrative. Eurydice Eve offers multimedia fresh cultural perspectives that challenge conventional feminist thought for its focus on individual liberation at the expense of systemic change. With hand-stitching and hand-drawing as her artistic media and the female nude as her theme, Eurydice “bridges high and low aesthetics in an ecstasy of satire and connects the viewer with past generations of silenced women for whom she hopes to speak.” Eurydice says her artwork is committed to “the age-old tension between the natural flesh we inhabit and our sociocultural constructs about it; between the bodies we are and the marks we make to capture them.” In her art, Eurydice Eve mulls on the constant reification of women, on the female pleasure principle and on the omniscient male gaze. Her art has a bait-and-switch effect: you get turned on and you get turned off. Large-scale wall hangings of hand-stitched female forms--a nod to temple art--are both seductive and confronting. Felliniesque punk-ed up collages of mythical women, violently hacked at with scissors, stitched together with the hand-dyed thread of feminine embroidery. Eurydice Eve works with ancient crafts that bridge her Eastern and Western heritages, high and low culture, and link the language of culture with the pulse of nature.
