Peer indiscreetly into biography as voyeur into the politics of revolutionary and Federalist New York. Historically, the Eighteenth century woman was viewed as a body without a voice. Combining letters, books and corsets, Huey created bodies from which to reanimate their voices. The film encapsulates the artist’s process, truly fulfilling the project’s vision.
