Ghada Amer

This book illustrates with commentary, various installations by Ghada Amer. There are also illustrations of her work where embroidery thread is used like paint. "Ghada Amer has built a remarkable career around work that revels in the politicalpotential of pleasure, paradox, and ambivalence-work that symbolizes not only the condition of our contemporary existence but the new resources that women are stocking in their war chest as they confront the "fundamentalism" that still exists there.".
