A Weak Bladder: Winter 2021, Toronto, ON, Canada

For years I have worn Sanitary Napkins to “protect” myself against leakages and somatic memories.

Safe Home, Winter 2021, Toronto, ON, Canada

A year ago, I bought a doll house and created a safe house for all my younger children that live within me.

The image is of a creatively manipulated picture of a dressmaker mannequin which stands draped in audio cassette tape ribbon and messages, which are held together with safety pins.

A blue and white little girl's bathing suit lays on a grey surface. It is adorned with safety pins, a rubber ducky, 3 decorative pins with imagery of child movie characters and a toy frog.
