How many hours went into the making of Der Volksstuhl? Vanilla Beer has documented her work and estimates, based on her own experience, that several years of various women's lives are here represented in the sewing. The making of the canvases and the getting and spinning of the wool, even if mechanized, represents further time.
Did the women make the tapestries for the pleasure of the work or for the use of the product?
The ones known to Vanilla Beer admitted to pleasure in the work - the product bring of little or no interest.
Der Volksstuhl is currently on display in Vanilla Beers’ Gallery, Esperaza, Aude, France.
