“Writers who’ve inspired me: a SoulCollage homage”
My entry in a juried art exhibition, titled: “Writers who’ve inspired me: a SoulCollage homage,” features six SoulCollage cards from my Community Suit and accompanying dialogue that I wrote to each writer (Mark Twain; Anne Frank; Maya Angelou; Helen Keller; Opal Whiteley; and Deena Metzger).
The heading included on the piece is “Bring a voice to what lies hidden.” In my view, each of these writers has shared wisdom and addressed aspects of life, from social and political hypocrisy (Twain) to sexual abuse (Angelou), that would often otherwise remain unarticulated. This theme fits with my own in my memoir-in-progress The Goose Girl: Twenty Years Chasing a Family Secret.
