I Never Told Anyone
Encaustic and Graphite on Carved Basswood
Size of Piece: 65 x 60 x 60
My work has always been figurative and focuses on the negative impact of contemporary culture on women and girls’ self-image and identity. I Never Told Anyone: is based on research and interviews with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I carved these figures in wood from sketches I made from direct observation and from my imagination. Each piece refers directly to one individual narrative reiterating when the abuse started, I stenciled that age at the base of each piece, and distilled the titles down to that one word my subject kept repeating, I was so humiliated, I was so frightened, I am so ashamed, guilt, insult, injury, denial.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
