My hands are much dirtier now. I have prepared many, many t-shirts, magnets, prints and wall hangings. I am ready for tomorrow and I am going to sleep late on purpose so that I can stay up for the long haul at Club Congress!

This is collage, paint and wintergreen transfers on paper. This work describes a friend who was injured while she was in the military by a fellow soldier who tried to rape her but was unsuccessful. She still suffers from the injuries many years later. She studied geophysics and her favorite rock is galena. It is one of the hardes rocks. I found this important as she felt vulnerable. I wanted the work to portray the body as fragile like paper and the facts about galena describe her injuries. Many victims are matter of fact in their descriptions of what happened to them. The labeling of the parts of the body at the site of injury paired with the description of the way to break galena makes a pretty powerful statement.
