“Keeping The Family Secrets” - 2018 Inflation and hand forged steel with patina, wax finish 8"x4"x6" See it in person at ArtFields 2021 - April 23 to May 1 at The R.O.B 245 South Church St, Lake City, South Carolina. This piece reflects one dilemma of living with untreated trauma: Family Secrets. Shame, fear & ignorance often drive families to bury, ignore & hide the Truth about some traumatic condition, an addiction, an affair or betrayal, the loss of a child & countless other situations. Such attempts to avoid facing a painful reality tend only to result in more serious symptoms, dysfunction and pressures within the family. Family secrets demand to be known, seek to be healed & will push their way, either explicitly or implicitly, into our awareness. This piece was originally due to be part of the ArtFields 2020 exhibition which was cancelled due scheduled to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
