This work is an exploration into a childhood that I had spent years trying to forget. The images were created through various printmaking techniques including monotype and silkscreen. On one level the work functions as sophisticated abstraction.  Upon closer examination, the images reveal mixed media elements such as; child-like drawing, collaged instructional, 'sex-ed', gendered materials, and the actual stains of menstrual fluid. Through the juxtaposition of adult sexual imagery and childlike themes, I hoped to illuminate the deep-seated confusion and scarring that sexual molestation can create.
