| "Forming Our Lives" |
In the exhibit ‘Forming
Our Lives’, three women recount personal stories that have affected and
continue to shape their lives. Bonnie J. Smith found herself literally swimming
upstream in her life after a work related injury forced her to use a wheel chair.
Carol Larson was surgically shortened six inches as a teenager to make her a
better fit for society. Cristina Velazquez’s work questions the world that
says, “Women must be and do certain things.” The artwork they have created
continually asks the question, “Why do certain situations happen in our lives
and how do we overcome them” and gives insight into how three women have
answered those hard questions.
