Overcoming Shame by Tesi Vaara

Overcoming Shame by Tesi Vaara

Artist Statement:  This is my second quilt in a series about child sexual abuse and the impact it had on my young mind and how it followed me through my life. It’s a journey that I am still working on today at age 70. I told no one what had happened to me. I thought I had done something wrong, that it was my fault somehow. Such shame I felt for many years.

Materials & Techniques: Silk/cotton background, acrylic painted cotton gelli plate prints and commercial cottons

Dimensions: 28 1/2 x 33
