“HerStory,” photo illustration by Mary Gow.
When you’re mad and you know it, make something!
I found tremendous satisfaction from constructing this photograph when I was furious.
Have you heard the saying, “You’re trying to get water from a rock”? I created this photograph to express that pain.
The heart-shaped rock sits on a bed of nails that stick up from a piece of foam core. Red nail polish and red paint illustrate blood oozing.
I titled the piece “HerStory.”
I am thankful this is not a recent creation. “HerStory” was submitted to a juried competition and won an award in 2005.
What have you created from your anger?
