Willow Stacey doesn’t like the Things Men Say
Get a sneak peek of our story with Willow Stacey, the artist challenging the status quo with her artistic compilations of real comments made by men.
While scrolling through Willow Stacey’s Instagram, I pause on an image of a tea
towel displaying the words, “You can play the gender card, but it’s all bollocks”. The artist’s grid is filled with similar creations — a conglomeration of dishcloths and doilies with colourful letters spelling out quotes that make me squirm.
That’s the point, though. Stacey’s Things Men Say collection is exactly what it says on the tin. Whether that’s something the artist has overheard, or that’s been said to her, or another woman has scribbled down in Stacey’s “little yellow book” (which she brings it to each art show for contributions), every phrase hand-stitched into the artworks is something a man has once uttered.
