dc.description.abstractThis thesis work depicts my process of therapy and rejuvenation found through artwork about abuse I suffered during high school. Through creating metaphors about the abuse, PTSD, and my anxiety, I discovered that my work served as a coping and healing act. My thesis displays fiber art techniques-embroidery, crochet, rusting and decaying fiber, and creating sculpture with hog gut and wire-that illustrate my recovery from abuse, as well as the strategies that now help me cope with residual anxiety.
