Artwork Description
grounds to ignite the outline of a massive butterfly, a celebration of the feminine. She then turned her attention to her most iconic project, The Dinner Party (1974--79), which used "women's arts" such as tapestry and other textile techniques and china painting to celebrate women's histories. She did not return to fireworks until 2012, when she recreated her pyrotechnic butterfly at Pomona College in Claremont, California.
