Note . The artist in this work has moved to North Ontario . This online work - along with other social media -has resulted in this artist being physically and emotionally bullied at home , on the streets and at work . Four years of being shot with projectiles from p shooters , sling shots and bb guns at home , on the streets and in the work place has resulted in increasing this artist stress levels and placing her at risk for homelessness . It has impacted her ability to kind and secure work . It resulted in complaints going into the work place to be treated with hostility . This brings to light that the negative feeling towards women in our schools and communities and in Canada are a problem. Furthermore mixed with racism and ageism the problem is not going away any time soon . It takes courage to do art and it takes courage to stand up and be counted even if one is pushed onto the ground for doing so ... But there is a point when it gets to much ....
its time to move beyond judgment and see that we are all flesh and blood .. we all bleed when shot with glass ... we all have feelings . We are all complex .
