Frozen Emotion


Project Description

This sculpture is intended to put into physical form an emotional condition I experienced in the early months, and years, after my accident.  Bodily pain and immobility proved to be very effective in isolating me from the life I previously knew.  I was a very active person and to be trapped in a hospital bed and in a wheel chair was as much of an ongoing emotional injury as the physical ones I had sustained.  I felt left behind and forgotten, just lost. I wasn't of course, I have a wonderful family, but hours passed like years and the feeling of my life just slowly draining away was quite real.
