I Will Keep You Upright in the Cold Silence

Communal Poured Cast Iron Lips 
Dimensions Variable 
April 2020

Cold Silence. The uncomfortable silence around sexual assault. There is always an awkward silence after a person opens up about a sexual trauma. That moment when the victim is waiting for encouragement versus disbelief, patiently waiting for any response. 

These are 110 cast female lips. The castings are able to stay upright because they physically lean on each other.  Often a victim just needs silent support. 

Post Traumatic Growth

Post-Traumatic Growth is about the resilience of growth after a trauma. The growth process after a trauma is an unique experience for every individual. It is not smooth or stable, there are peaks and valleys. The time and effort it takes to break down and work through the trauma can be tedious.
