Girl Reading
by Katie Ward

In a creative and lyrical debut, Katie Ward takes art as her inspiration, imagining the stories behind seven images throughout history of women reading.  From an orphan girl in medieval Siena who poses for a Renaissance maestro to a picture of a young medium who poses with a book in one of the early photographic studios to a photograph of a young woman reading in a bar, what are these women thinking.  What led them to the place where we see them?

Ward tells us the stories of these reading women in such a way that each image is somehow linked to the others and the result is a beautifully imagined narrative that causes us to think about our relationship to art, the history of women, and the importance of books and reading in our own lives.
