October 12 – October 31, 1994

McPherson Library Gallery

This exhibition features a selection of Lillian Broca’s works. She was inspired by the myth of Persephone and other Descant stories as a way to approach stories of abandoned and abused women.

Persephones get dragged down to the Underworld kicking and screaming or as silent, willing victims. Either way they come back with a new vision of the world. The Underworld may be the inner world, the unconscious of the loss of a dearly held belief. It may develop bitterness or compassion.

Lillian Broca, 1994
