"The Weight of Her Words" was created (and sold) in 2013 for the Other Women exhibition honoring International Women's Day at Alley Cat Books Gallery in San Francisco, CA. Later that year the image was published in the 2013 Women’s Caucus for Art exhibition catalog for “Stories We Tell”. The composition of the piece includes a conscious narrative of cut and reassembled text that sheaths the female form to emulate her skin. Her vulnerable insides, the gears that make her turn and tick, are exposed like an open wound. She looks forward through the trees carrying her burden - a heavy and weathered chain of events. She holds it strong, proudly gripping it firmly in hand, as it too plays part in her story. #weightofwords #powerofwords #strengthofwords #storieswetell #herstory #magnitudeoftruth #assemblageart #foundobjectart #asemblageartists #diannehoffmanart #femaleform #womenartists #wearyourtruth #storyteller https://www.instagram.com/p/CY7prXsJLc0/?utm_medium=tumblr
