Sticks and Stones

Libby Slauenwhite, is studying Studio Art as a graduate student at Miami. Her artwork Sticks and Stones is a plaster sculpture depicting the torso of a victim of external trauma who is covered in armor of “sticks and stones.” The sculpture represents “the tarnishing of… female purity and innocence,” but also how women “wear the critiques of… womanhood as armor against the societal attacks on… identity.”
