Turning to Wallpaper

"The Blue Velvet Dress Says I Told You So" is a collection of poetry and paintings by artist Heidi Wong. It fearlessly tackles many humanitarian and existential issues ranging from equality, loss, neglect, and legacy. This second edition has been entirely re-edited and redesigned. While the book possesses heavy feminist overtones, Heidi moves toward humanitarian issues on a much larger scale using allegory that allows the work to be accessible to anyone struggling or healing. Velvet Dress is something that demands to be read and experienced by all.

The Blue Velvet Dress Says I Told You So

"Wear poetry as both perfume and armor." Wong's words and artistry are both vibrant with color, richly textured, defiant, and unapologetic in their boldness. Her speaker begins her spiritual journey of remembrance that transcends body, tradition, or even nation in the pursuit of authentic art that is constructed through the radical acceptance of the past in order to leave it all behind. Turning to Wallpaper is a story where no wounds are left unconfronted or softened. It is beautiful, without beauty. There is "pain, but no victimhood."
