Joan Snyder ‘I started to believe that there is a female sensibility’

'Painters tend to be limited by the frame within which, and the plane upon which, they work. But not Joan Snyder. Since the 1970s, she has layered her work with fabric and straw, gel and glitter, lentils and flowers. Her work might hang on a wall, but it pushes itself outwards into the world, disrupting the space around it as well as the process of making art itself.' — Caroline Roux
