Resting on the pure white bed of her foremothers hard-wrought linens she braves to gaze at the viewer. Challenging us to look again into the shadows of the past and reconsider. Visuals can challenge us to frame what we are feeling where we otherwise lack the impetus to question. Art offers us a place to trigger thinking by asking open ended questions of the viewer. I am fully aware that the maker does not control the reaction. The narrative springs from the life of the viewer. When one encounters a taboo there is usually a deeply rooted reason we flinch. It is important to dig into it, question the history, push back. It is clearly difficult to frame thinking, or find the language to describe, what has been shuttered off by generations of taboos. What cannot be named by those who experience it remains invisible. This work is built from two stacked custom shaped panels. The first is collaged with original hand embroidered linens and prints of historical paintings depicting women. The top panel is cut out in the shillouette of the women and realistically painted in acrylic.
