artistoftheNorthernFront Gail Shive's "Screaming Purses"
"As a teenager I made a series of poor decisions resulting in twenty-four years of pain in an abusive marriage. Recently, I realized I should have been screaming all those years. Rather than holding the screams in I decided to paint a series of “screaming purses”. Now those screams are out in the world where they belong. The purse is the perfect female symbol, a place to “carry all our baggage”, or our talismans. "I like painting on vintage purses because they have already had a life of their own suggesting ideas for screams that might otherwise remain in my unconscious. Their shapes, colors, and textures contribute to the ambiance of the era they represent

#36 "I paint screams because anger was one of the emotions “not allowed” in my first marriage. It was initially easier to paint my anger than to talk about it. I have struggled to find my “voice”. These purses articulate that voice." |
