Medusa
Door Knocker
Sculpture created in collaboration with the Pictou County Women Resource and Sexual Assault Centre to honour and celebrate 50 years of women making change in Pictou County.
Medusa and door knocker symbolism speaks to the historic milestone.
Medusa is a survivor,
she is a protector,
She refuses to be silenced,
She has reclaimed her gaze.
The door knocker is a nod to the beginning of the local women’s movement when conversations started by women knocking on doors.
power of clay
Clay as a medium not only witnesses our stories, it holds them in the material itself and preserves them through time.
