Trust Me, They're All The Same

With a sense of time evoked by lines for a month of days, the face of this large glass calendar nods to the daily importance of that which sustains life. Trust Me speaks to the experience of anyone who has longed for the quenching relief of an observation or comment free of comparison or criticism.
This installation is for anyone who needed the essentials: to be seen, heard, and valued. But who instead sipped daily shame for failing to compete well or meet expectations.
For anyone who has been told, "Stop complaining (being so needy, so sensitive, so fragile). This is how I treat all of my children/students/employees/lovers. The words and actions are the same for everyone. This is all you will get. Trust me."
