Abstract (English)

Metcalfe considers Collyer’s work as commenting on gender and its relation to domesticity. On the artist’s use of decorative art and crafts to render things nonfunctional, Metcalfe recalls P. Dykhuis’ description of them as “dysfunctional.” There is a fine line between humour and unease in the work, the author notes, as it evokes serious issues like domestic violence. List of works. Biographical notes. 8 bibl. ref.
