woman of the hour

Here is photographer Donna Ferrato, woman of steel, in front of her New York City public sculpture Wall of Silence, And appropriately today a full page review of her New York gallery show appears in the New York Times. It turns out it was written by a former colleague of mine from Time Inc. Read it here. 

     The unveiling of the sculpture took place in front of the halls of justice —and injustice, Donna says—just two days after her gallery show, timed to protest the expected overturning of Roe v Wade. The show is based on photographs and collages from her book Holy, for which I wrote the intro.

   

Holding court.

Joined by women who were jailed for defending themselves from violent partners, Donna dances around her sculpture of a jailhouse door.
