It is its Natural Manure."

Post-Partum Document / Kelly, Mary., 1999

 Item
Identifier: CC-32573-34154
Scope and Contents The first exhibition of this six part work was in the 1970's. The book is a reprinting of Kelly's conceptual feminist work that was typed in lowercase letters. According to Lucy Lippard, the general theme of the work is "removal, distancing, the weaning process that characterizes socialization and all relationships... and the subject's awareness of the ideologies that rule her experiences." As Kelly herself writes in 1973 in the opening statement, "In the Post-Partem Document, I am trying to show the reciprocity of the process of socialization in the first few years of life.

In Post Partum Document, she was engaging in a...
