We Warned You, But You Didn’t Listen
Linda Pearl Izan
The work is a response to the ongoing issues of Domestic Abuse, society’s reaction to it and the cut in funding to refuges. The installation plays with the idea of the aftermath of a crime scene. Having witnessed the impact of Domestic Abuse as a child, the resonance of the experience is forever part of your emotional response. The desolation felt by victims in the aftermath of an incident is stark, so to with this artwork in its raw depiction of Domestic Abuse.
Using statistics printed on fabric and wrapped around traffic cones the work recalls the objects and processes used in police crime scenes. The tape and traffic cones sit on printed neoprene with a further message regarding the ubiquitous nature of domestic abuse.
