Levitation

Digital print on fabric,​ 58 x 115 inches

Combining images of levitating women in various contexts, including the medical photographs of allegedly hysterical women in the late 19C Paris and the demonically possessed heroine of the 1970's American horror classic, The Exorcist, this tapestry conjures the spirits of women mediating something other than their own, whether it be spiritual power or historical trauma, both being subject to and resisting the otherizing gaze of containment.
