Subject and Association DescriptionPhillips’s work for the Glasgow Women’s Library was made in response to items found in the library’s poster archive. ‘Don’t Call Me Girl!’ by the Chicago Women’s Graphics Collective (c.1975) and ‘It’s Even Worse in Europe’ by the Guerrilla Girls (1989), although not cited directly, express an attitude that Phillips brings to bear on her own work. The Advice-giver, a toucan that Phillips photographed earlier this year in a city greenhouse in Zürich, suggests that we ‘Give a damn’ and refers to poster works by one of Phillips’ admired artists and educators, Corita Kent (1918-86).
