This postcard is my response to the affect of Covid and Black Lives Matter on me. The collective trauma of Covid-19 sparked memories of personal childhood trauma, which I was able to hold and work through. When the Black Lives Matter movement swelled, I connected with it as a feminist. All of this broke my heart open, making space for a spiritual breakthrough.
The postcard forms part of the Artists Responding To… project and will be printed in a book with 199 other artists’ responses to events of 2020. You can order your copy of the book here (it might make a nice stocking filler). The postcards will be exhibited in 2021.
Congratulations! It’s a beautiful piece and I am happy to hear that it will be featured in an upcoming book release.
Thank you, Melissa <3
