Dykeland: Volume 1<\/em> presents a body of work created by the artist Sarah-Joy Ford<\/a>, that investigates the history of dyke and lesbian lands in the UK through textile practice. These works form an archive of an exploration of dyke, lesbian, and queer relationships to land, placemaking, rurality, and ecological activism. Through quilting, fragments of historical texts and archival material are drawn into intimate relationships with memory, gossip and pure lesbian feminist fantasy.<\/p>\n
