But then, one day on a leafy branch a tiny green chrysalis appears and from this a beautiful new butterfly is born. Domestic Violence places victims in a cage of emotional, financial and often physical abuse fearfully exposed to another’s anger and control. The angel’s duplicitous smile, his sharpened spear reminded me of domestic violence and the heartbreak associated with it. Yet, to me, this sculpture also spoke of betrayal. A winged Angel, his spear filled with Divine Love, is thrust into the heart of the nun lying beneath him. Clouds gather and darken as they fall through a formerly loving relationship onto Bernini’s sculpture ‘The Ecstasy of Santa Teresa’. Yet, when that relationship breaks down and becomes abusive, we are vulnerable our ’emotional’ eggs have been placed in our loved one’s basket. Representing a loving relationship, peaceful meadows, sky above and trees surround and embrace Botticelli’s ‘Birth of Venus’ standing before my chicken house in the country. From my experience, I hope to put a visual face to this tragic issue of victims of abuse. *Charity defined as Family Transition Place (FTP)Ĭlose up of bottom section – image by Pete PatersonĭOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IN SOCIETY TODAY.Ĭoercive Control is a term used in Intimate Partner Relationships where abusive behaviours lead to Domestic Violence.

More than just silk from China travelled along these routes as design images moved from east to west on ceramics, textiles, metalwork, tilework and other applied arts, as the Silk Road routes travelled through various countries to Europe, England and eventually to the New World influencing many of the visual arts. It lasted for more than 1,500 years from the second century BCE to the mid-15th Century CE facilitating economic, cultural, political and religious interactions between China, Asia, India and Europe. The term instead refers to a network of routes used by Eurasian traders spanning a distance of some four thousand miles past the Takla Makan Desert in China, climbing up through the vast and majestic Pamir Mountains and the ‘Stans down through Central Asia, India, Turkey across the Mediterranean Sea into Italy. The Silk Road is neither an actual road nor a single route.
