ARTIST STATEMENT:

Often we want to change ourselves - search for a job, move past a trauma, forgive someone that has hurt us - but find ourselves trapped motionless by our fears, worries or anger. You are invited to write down the things that are holding them back from taking the first step toward change and to place it in the purse. This figure - a literal cage made from chains - will hold those thoughts for you so that you can begin your metamorphosis. At the end of the exhibit, the papers will be collected and burned.
