Promise not to tell

The artist confronts a personal history of child abuse and trauma and breaks a family promise in search of enlightenment. She is joined by the voices of her ancestors, ending their long held silence and creates a voice for children hurt, lost, and violated. Silkscreen printed on WSW handmade paper.

Out of print.
