Lifting the Veil

houses, shelters, pavilions – places of women
white female figures on pillars, women on pedestals
decorated with inscriptions by MY community of women
shrouded with blood red silk tents, fragile veils reflecting those strengths that bond all women
resonating with Islamic women who live behind their veils
resonating with the women of the Red Tent where they menstruated, gave birth, talked, loved, quarreled, raised children and dealt with their illnesses

in our western influenced society these veils are transparent for those who want to listen and see, and can be lifted for those who want to share
