Every Woman and Nobody

This is not simply my story. Every Woman and Nobody is an expression of how inescapable sexual advances, harassment and violence imprint on the body. It is a careful grouping of singular images and diptychs that rely on my own body as a site of inquiry. I employ the symbolic language of feathers, open sky, and domestic spaces to indicate the desire to break free from emotional and psychological bondage. Clouds, contrails, and water represent that which cannot be understood or grasped. Medical records from my adolescence refer to what is true and known. Part memoir and part metaphor, it is about me, about nobody, and about every woman simultaneously.
