I am steadily working on cutting hexagons, making prints, and mounting the prints for my installations in May and June. I need your help to make this project work! I am still missing about 80 images to reach my goal of 350 hexagons for the art installation. You can help be a part of this unique project by emailing me an image and caption to go along with your image.
Women:
Share an image/writing that shares something about your life experience.
- It could be an image of something you love (I’ve gotten images of shoes, dresses, people working on their hobbies/passions)
- It could be an image of you as a child, or with someone close to you.
- It could be of a place that is special to you.
- It could be writing or an image that speaks to a challenge or experience you have dealt with or overcome. I am happy to make contributed images anonymous if you let me know that you would like them to be listed that way. There are many women’s issues that are tough to talk about —but it is still important to raise awareness about them!
Men and Women:
Send me an image (or a written tribute) to honor a woman who has been special in your life.
- Likewise, it could be of something that she loves or loved (either her passion in life, or even perhaps words of wisdom she offered you)
- Or a place or people special to her
- Or a photo of her
Send them to: constellationsofwomen@yahoo.com
or post them to my facebook page (Emily Ritchey Vigil)
or tag them in Flicker as “constellations of women” and email to let me know.
Thank you!!!

I would love to help you out. These writings that you are requesting, do you want a scan of something handwritten or just text about an event? I recently had a baby and hand wrote my entire birth experience out. I was thinking I could scan a page or two to send to you? Please let me know. Can a person contribute multiple things? The project sounds interesting. I can’t wait to see more of it.
That would be wonderful! Yes, scan a few pages, and yes, you can absolutely contribute a few things. About 1/2 of the contributions are multiple images or image/w related writing. So that would be perfect! That way I can put them in the same constellation when I install the piece.
Actually I haven’t blogged about this yet (I will shortly), but I am now pregnant with my first child, so I am really interested personally in your experience. I’m due in September.
