Doors & Windows

Gilda:  I didn’t get that knowledge until I went into drug recovery. 
Um, I found when I went into recovery [that] was so interesting for me. To understand that was just like a whole door opening for me.  I loved recovery....

So maybe there is, ah, something good about addiction.  Because I did – sought it out and I pounded those doors and made myself get up and go seek these avenues.  ‘Cause it’s real hard when you’re sick.  

Patricia:  (First thoughts in response to the narrative) Gilda... You've been going through doors your whole life.  

Interpretations:  These are ekphrasic mixed-media works based on participant narratives from the WSU Women & Meth Project.  The works focus on Gilda (participant), her family & friends, dialog, and the "doors and windows" of their relationships.
