'Vermilion Blues #2' – edition 2 of 10- 21 x 29cm image, 26 x 35cm framed archival print on photographic paper with white matte board and black frame $ 450.00. Custom sizes and unframed editions also available. "The recent years have been a time of sudden violence, of irruption. Of heat, fires, rain, and flooding of unprecedented intensity. We have been locked down, and in. And as more and more news of gendered violence emerged, a deluge of truth irrupted. Predictably, these events created space and cause to think and reflect. Through this time I looked back on the decades I believed the narratives that society created about me, and I struggled to reconcile my intellectual understanding of coercive control with the feelings of shame and guilt associated with my own experiences. For too long, people and systems have made me feel that I deserved to be treated poorly because I am a woman. Made me accept commentary on my appearance, my behavior, my anger. Of course, the same systems and people responsible for this normative imposition are the architects of the catastrophic demise of our environment. These images capture an upwelling of compassion for myself, and the discovery of power in my rage”. – Katherine Williams
