On this hand knitted tapestry representing childhood and innocence is the tragic theme of brokenness and loss. Gun violence is the leading cause of childhood death. For every hundred thousand children, five are lost to gun violence as recorded by the CDC. As a therapist, I’ve seen their pain, fear, and the silent screams for help. In my art I seek to make their voices heard. I created Our Lost Children from raw wool, excavated doll shards, paint and tears, hoping all who see it will act to keep our children safe and break the cycle of childhood deaths by gun violence.
