Deborah Wagner Sproule, MFA UW-Madison, lives and maintains her studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Deborah is co-curator and project administrator of "STITCHED MYTH". Deborah is dedicated to reasserting the silenced voices (stitched and woven art forms) of her foremothers. She notes that while most major art museums hold stitched and woven forms in their archives the category of stitched and woven art forms continues to be undervalued in exhibition of work and critical discussion of aesthetics surrounding stitched and woven forms of art. In an act of silent subversion, Deborah stitches small scale beaded statements that express a single female voice (the shoe) in psychologically charged settings.
