The Rapunzel Stories: Looking Through the Window, 2021

Mixed media on Dura-Lar, chenille stems 50"w 105"h 24"d

Rapunzel was a young girl fighting her way out of a castle that she knew was not the entirety of her world. This Brothers Grimm story beautifully illustrates the central premise of my work: to reflect on the struggles of women to be visible and seen as powerful and intelligent. The long hair of Rapunzel inspired me to create a long art object that goes as far up as it can go, past imagination.
