"Wounds of the Mother (and her mother, and hers)", 48 x 36 inches, Acrylic, Oil Pastel, Graphite, An original painting from the HerStory Collection on 1.5 inch deep Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Painting comes not framed, ready to hang with hanging materials.

The paintings from my HerStory Collection are a reckoning with parts of my body and mind that have remained hidden, an attempt to decipher which narratives around womanhood, femininity, and my role in the world are actually my own, which I have inherited, and which of those need to be re-written. This collection serves as a mirror, a way to see those parts of myself, know them, and be for myself what I have always needed.

I am a survivor, daughter of a survivor, and a woman raised under the umbrella of patriarchy and misogyny now raising a daughter of my own.

“Wounds of the Mother (and her mother, and hers)” speaks to the toxic narratives and cycles of trauma around womanhood and femininity I have inherited from society and my own family and the conscious choice to do the work that ensures those cycles end with me.

    about the artist

    byMarcy Parks

    Bristol, TN

    My name is Marcy Parks and I am writer and artist creating bold and feminine expressive abstract paintings. My work is my way of processing my experience as a woman and mother. My paintings begin with me scribbling words on a canvas, uncertain of what will follow, but trusting in the impulse to create, and though I never know what they will look like, in the end I am always greeted by the abstract forms, lines, and marks that map the journey to my healing.
