Colored Stories boil aesthetics down to raw elements; the abstract, minimalistic prints are made from samples taken from mid-century items marketed to American women during the post-war era. Joyous palates were used to help American women, who were suddenly a consumer demographic, forget their status as second-class citizens. Ironically, the ebullient colors and aesthetics, that were once used to soothe us, are now being used to reinforce a revisionist version of our history. The current trend that fetishizes mid-century aesthetics allows us to rescript and wash over a past that includes discrimination, intolerance, and limited opportunities for women and minorities.
