The Cairn
Size: 30 x 22
Framed Size: 32 x 24
“The Cairn”… The word cairn originated in Gaelic, meaning “mound of stones.” The Cairn’s primary purpose for the Celts, Native Americans, and other bygone cultures was to mark an area as sacred ground. This drawing, “The Cairn”, is part of a series exploring the impact of conflict on women in war zones today. The contour of these bodies suggests the shape of a Cairn.. Although emotionally crushed by what they and their loved ones have experienced, the embrace of these women also suggests stability, strength and resilience. While they console one another, they create a sacred space. As they work to heal, they forge path forward through the complicated landscape of their broken world.
