Seattle, Rochester, and someplace in Kansas

Guerrilla art installations are going up today in Seattle, Rochester, and Kansas (not sure which city). These will be just the 'thoughts' on magnets, no little figures, which are all being used in Buffalo, NY. Thanks to all who have commented so far!!

Donating art to Rape Crisis Center auction


I've been approached by someone who saw this blog to donate to an art auction being held for a rape crisis center, and I will donate some of the figures used for this project. Contact me if you have your own art to donate. I will give the details of the auction in a later post.

Diary of a rape victim

Afraid of the world.

Feels like it happened to someone else.

Who can I tell?

Everything changed.

Feel dead inside.

Why me?

No one knows.

No one sees the wounds inside.

Want to hide.

D-Day for the anti-rape installation

I start the anti-rape guerrilla tonight in Buffalo, NY Around midnight when I'll be leaving about 300 magnets on cars and in bars up and down Allen St and tomorrow at the University at Buffalo. On each piece is a thought that runs through the mind of rape victims (I should know, being one). I hope that people will be intrigued enough to look online at this blog address and perhaps leave their thoughts.

Three other cities - Rochester, NY; Seattle, WA; and Lawrence, KS - will follow in the next few days.

Preparations for Installation next week





Here is the map of Buffalo, NY where I'll be leaving artwork and messages next week. I'm including pictures of some of the messages and sculptural objects I've made for it.

Project Pending

Preparing the first guerrilla art project: leaving messages, the thoughts of a rape victim, in public places. They will be small, magnetized, and have this blog address on them. Targets will include random cars, bathroom stalls, and streetlamps.

With some help from my friends, I'm hoping to do small postings in NYC; Buffalo, NY; Pittsburg, PA; Seattle, WA.

People who find the messages and leave comments can get a small original drawings or sculptures sent to them, if they want.

Dates pending.

And it begins....

And so begins the guerrilla art project related to rape -- anonymously leaving small artworks and messages on cars and in public places, with this blog address attached. What do people think about when they read or see the dark art pieces?
