Human Trauma through Bound Leather

Award -winning artist Ùna Burke has fashioned flesh-toned leather into a magnificent work of art ‘depicting a series of eight human gestures associated with the cause, the physical and psychological effect and the healing stages of human trauma.’ I’ll give you eight human gestures of human annoyance! You only need your hands. Anyway, I have a medical corset that I was given to me by my in-laws. It belonged to my grandmother-in-law (RIP). It looks kind of like this, but in flesh-toned, peachy fabric fabric. I wear it with silky, peachy pantaloons and it looks pretty damn cool if I say so myself. ‘Myself’ is the key word. Anyway, check out Una Burke’s traveling exhibit. I’m curious to see the 8 human gestures of human trauma.
