I made another piece using forks a while ago. They are such an interesting form. I was thinking that they look like bars and this suggested the idea of a domestic prisoner. Certainly the role of women has changed from when I grew up but there are many around the world who are “enslaved” to domestic chores rather than being allowed to reach their potential.I valued the time I had as a teacher as I helped some kids realize that they had lots of strength and possibilities and this little piece sort of reflects on this.
