False Imprisonment

Mixed Media

Artist Statement
For the last 25 years I have been working almost exclusively in recycled Styrofoam and lightweight spackle. It was the most forgiving, durable and enjoyable medium I’ve ever worked. I started work on this piece in 1997 as a part of a dozen works I called my “struggle series”. It was a little different from the others in the series, and I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go with it until 14 years later. The Powers That Be decided that Manning should be silenced.
I still have a lot of Styrofoam, but a workable lightweight spackle is no longer available. When I started this piece in 1997 or when I finished it in 2014, I had no idea that in 2015 I would be struggling to find a medium with which I could express my truths. However my struggle is nothing compared to what Chelsea Manning continues to endure.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
