Stolen Sisters

This photo is part of a proposal that I submitted with Sandra Lamouche, Hoop Dancer from "December 6," to create a silent poetry dance film for imagineNATIVE's Stolen Sisters Digital Initiative call. In "14 (for December 6)," the spoken word piece that creates the backbone of the film "December 6," Evalyn Parry delivers a line: "Women's bodies farmed out, used up, disappeared." It's a line that haunts me and was part of the inspiration in the creation of this proposal. Depressing statistic in the body graffiti, but I'm pleased with the aesthetic of the image.
