About This Artwork
This large format work is one of several of this artist's forays into socio-political statement. Measuring 48" x 52", this painting features three dimensional "bandages" archivally glued onto the surface of the work and then painted over with oils. Referencing the flames of Joan of Arc as well as the blood of female martyrs since the beginning of recorded history, the question is asked how much of a woman's suffering comes from her own actions ? The answer, of course, is none, referring to a paternalistic society which insists upon making a woman's decisions for her. The bandages indicate the being's efforts at self-healing, a Sisyphean task in a world where wounds are inevitable.
