Meet Chastity. My art assemblages, curiosities, mixed media pieces always tell a story. Sometimes they are obvious stories. This is a woman’s story. Each part of the work is integral to the narrative. Like many women today, she is in pieces stuffed into a box not of her making, being held together with tightly coiled springs. Her body is shielded with a tin plate and her yoni must have a key to enter. She safely keeps her key in a locket around her neck. At the bottom is the door to her desires, chained against unwanted advances. You may read more or less into this artwork. I would love to hear any of your comments.

About 14 inches tall, Dissected china doll, tin box, coiled brass wires, mother of pearl button waste, various antique brass pieces.
