'Cleansed and Cared for' is a tripartate series of loss.
Garments immersed in Pear's soap, redolent with its fragrance,
are preserved. These Memento Mori (not shown) gently bind the memory of lost lives to me. The Congestion Series reveals the soap's ability to congeal, clog and stifle and exist as reflections on the loss of my marriage. 'Effie, Lizzie and Rose' (not shown) is John Ruskin's story, not mine.
Uterine Congestion was exhibited in 2009 by the Womanmade Gallery in Chicago.
