About This Series

My intention for this series was to wrap beautiful traditional fabrics around archetypal female forms and create a number of figures that suggested an ambiguous mix of cultures. These female figures would show no hands that might affect cultural changes and covered mouths to muffle their voice. I created 5 of these shapes and they all evolved with their own story of voicelessness but in the end only one is without hands and a covered mouth.
