A Eulogy for Her and Me.

installation of body, childhood items, window, door and hands

This month I worked on my first installation piece. It enfolds sexual assault's role in growing up and the pain of leaving a childhood self behind so abruptly.

The dimensions are approximately 168" x 36" x 72" and it is made of cardboard, paper, glue, fabric scraps, air dry clay, acrylic paint, found and collected everyday items (broken clock, CDs, DVDs, teacup and plate, toothbrush, snowglobe, children's book, Barbie doll, etc.), and other collected trash.
