Private Collection Privately, I refer to this figure as Marcelle, my beloved mother-in-law who died in 2017. Beautifully dressed in vintage sari fragments—stoic and divine—she carefully concealed her trauma deep within under the veil of elegant presence. She is photographed in front of an antique stage backdrop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414190622-8UQ8ACDE04N88GVJBHHU/Image2.jpg Mixed Media - Deity II Wax, antique textiles, doll form, brass wire & fire, 19” x 13” (Figure), Private Collection I imagined a medieval Crusader when creating this piece. A non-gender specific Crusader wearing an armored breastplate, meant to reshape the narrative on identification and self-expression. I photographed this deity in front of an antique painting, which on the whole, captures the mood of the Crusader. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414189837-5IVZDNMJ33NWW69B4JFE/Image3.jpg Mixed Media - Deity III Antique wood cross, vintage fabric, wax, silk & fire, 13” x 6” (Figure), Private Collection I often reimagine and reinterpret Biblical figures without defining gender. In this piece the figure carries the cross, a symbol of Christ’s passion and death. The dress fabric used here came from a collection of vintage fabric scraps I’d saved. This deity is seen emerging from a 19th-century wooden box, aptly placed on a fireplace mantle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414189181-V4XCC3Z2VBC841RKV9AE/Image4.jpg Mixed Media - Deity IV Antique brass, found animal skull, vintage fabric, wax & fire, 20” x 12” (Figure), Private Collection Regal in her stature and dress, this deity represents the feeling of elevation that can occur as a result of shedding shame. Her red skirt was created using vintage raw silk and melted wax that was carefully burned, garnering the final effect. The backdrop of black velvet and red stitching is that of an antique theater costume. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414189011-CT66Q1S1U8JB2V3N180K/Image5.jpg Mixed Media - Deity V Doll form, wax, religious cloth, antique paper & fire, 13” x 4” (Figure), Private Collection A true rising from the ashes representation of healing from trauma, and the pure act of surviving unspeakable circumstances. An icon meant to represent the countless female survivors who have shared their stories with me. This figure is photographed in front of a 19th-century silk and gold thread altarpiece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414188056-24SMF9Z15XFAZFNSUS2J/Image6.jpg Mixed Media - Deity VI Antique gold thread, burlap, dried flowers, wax, fire & antique paper, 14” x 9” (Figure), Private Collection One of two self-portrait interpretations in this exhibition. Hands bound, face distorted, limited in self-expression. This figure stands on a 19th-century Bible, photographed in front of a vintage galvanized metal tray. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414187576-3CAU71EWTRDOF5AX6Y3R/Image7.jpg Mixed Media - Deity VII Doll form, antique brass, antique velvet, wax & fire, 18” x 7” (Figure), Private Collection I cannot shake the idea of Joan of Arc in this figure. Saint Joan glorified, anointed, and adorned. The gold embellished velvet is from a collection of antique fabric scraps purchased at a flea market more than 20 years ago. St. Joan stands atop an antique Bible in front of raw, unadorned flax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634415640340-7JDFBXVY2X63CGJQGOYG/Image8.jpg Mixed Media - Deity VIII Antique brass wire, wax, antique text on paper & fire, 16” x 18” (Figure), Private Collection Standing tall and determined on an antique Victorian base, this deity pays homage to the countless victims of religious abuse who fight not only society, but also their innermost selves, to shed the shame and stigma they carry. I photographed this deity standing on a gilded and red splattered painting I created using stained glass paints. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414186707-HJJ9V2QT600PG8IW2EEP/Image9.jpg Mixed Media - Deity IX Antique Bible pages, wax, doll form & fire, 17” x 12” (Figure), Private Collection A representation of those who literally bury themselves underneath the dogma of religion, yet act in ways that are an affront to the religion they claim to believe in. Hypocrisy at work. This deity is photographed in front of a gilded frame and standing on pages of a 19th-century journal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414186085-FXPIHONESKI1NTBFC3P2/Image10.jpg Mixed Media - Deity X Antique book cover, sealing wax, antique silk ribbon, doll form & fire, 13” x 10” (Figure), Private Collection A self-portrait of dissociation, a coping mechanism used by victims of sexual abuse and trauma. The parts that make up the whole. This portrait was photographed in my studio on my worktable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414182850-2SS3Z8W5OUP8K042XJ0A/Image11.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XI Antique brass candlestick, antique ribbon and silk, wax & fire, 21” x 7” (Figure), Private Collection Divine, feminine, exalted, transfigured. As in most of my figures, I use fire to create the overall effect of overcoming the effects of trauma. This deity contains antique silk fragments which when dampened, allow for a slow and controlled burn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414184110-RLBMN136PVB020U72IH0/Image12.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XII Doll form, antique textiles, wax, religious text & fire, 10” x 9” (Figure), Private Collection I imagine this figure as an ancient deity—non-gender specific, discovered and cherished—representing unlimited potential for healing. Photographed on a bed of shredded religious and gold leaf papers in front of a gold-leafed panel I created as the backdrop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634415575217-DVSHX1O2ZBXB0LX6XLRS/Image13.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XIII Antique silk, antique text, fire & wax, 12” x 8” (Figure), Private Collection I often imagine and interpret Christ as female. A reversal of common thought, raising the feminine to the role of savior. This figure is standing on a collage I created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414184633-S8E7CKKERJDS5H15MMPC/Image14.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XIV Antique rosary beads, antique religious text, fire & wax, 13” x 10” (Figure), Private Collection Steeped in religious dogma and abuse, this figure finds freedom in recovery from old childhood wounds, reclaiming life on her terms. To achieve the desired surroundings, this figure stands in front of an antique, faded mirror. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414185072-030CJC5X5OL9R1O1YP4I/Image15.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XV Found materials, wax, antique rosary beads, fire & religious texts, 18” x 10” (Figure), Private Collection Contained in the protected box are remnants of this figure’s traumatized past. This deity is photographed in front of a different section of the same antique painting used in Deity II. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414185874-TZNM49M6LEAULFKOX27S/Image16.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XVI Antique velvet, gold wax, antique text, fire & paint, 16” x 8” (Figure), Private Collection I imagine my mother, devoid of her mental illnesses, elegant and willing to live a full life. She is photographed in front of a 19th-century gold frame, on a bed of unadorned flax. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414182371-B3M0Z7TZWC46GZT7LL1Q/Image17.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XVII Antique linen, antique paper, found crucifix, fire & wax, 12” x 12” (Figure), Private Collection A female-presenting figure claiming the cross—having found freedom from her experience—now has the ability to speak the truth. She stands in front of a cobblestone fireplace, on top of an antique silver tray. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634416144056-P0VR1IXPVT1QJFKG1UUD/Image18.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XVIII Antique velvet, wax, doll form & fire, 12” x 11” (Figure), Private Collection A visual representation of trauma hiding in plain sight. I photographed this figure enveloped by a 19th-century green velvet church fragment I discovered in France. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414181683-9DWXDGH1MWR4ZHZ32KP7/Image19.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XIX Antique wood column, burlap, velvet, wax, brass wire & fire, 21” x 10” (Figure), Private Collection A female survivor elevated as a warrior and truth teller. She is photographed in my studio in front of religion-inspired mixed-media collages I created. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58544cde2e69cf27b0b4e68b/1634414180599-QDISN5SKDZLFJR1GB90O/Image20.jpg Mixed Media - Deity XX Wax, antique Bibles, fiberglass form & fire, 72” x 40” (Figure), Private Collection My first life-sized icon, representing healing from childhood sexual abuse, and the determination to live a full life.
