Nancy Youdelman was a costume design student at Fresno State University in 1970 when she joined Judy Chicago’s groundbreaking Feminist Art Program. Since then, Youdelman has fused her background in textiles and costumes with pointed feminist critique. In Thorn Shoe (1976), a child’s shoe stuffed with hair and adorned in prickly thorns alludes to the potential pain and suffocating sacrifice of motherhood under patriarchy. Youdelman was part of a wave of feminist artists in the early 70s who advocated for women to make art based on their own real-life experiences.Posted by Carmen HermoNancy Youdelman (born New York, New York 1948).
