Artist Statement
When I first looked at the small photo used in Taste of Freedom—I saw only a happy woman driving in a new car. But when I enlarged it on my screen I could see that she was driving away from her husband who was trying to control a number of energetic children. I paired this image with a washboard—women’s work was hard without our modern conveniences… she didn’t have a washing machine but the new car would make her life a little easier.
