OPEN SECRETS (The Sociopath) (The Catholic Church) (The Unreported Unsolved), Photographic Film, Inkjet Print, 28”x40”, 2019

Language repurposed from headlines and unsolved missing person cases Katelyn exposes open secrets. These are atrocious events that are swept under the rug, covered up and forgotten about. The language is blurry, barely legible and partially erased much like the stories they are based upon. Media diverts our attention elsewhere while predators hunt among us often targeting our children. Monsters don’t hide under your bed or in your closet. In fact, they are charming and manipulative. Their violence is unapparent and usually concealed behind a cloak of power. They can run for public office, CEO a corporation, start a cult, or be a celebrity you admire.  They are your unsuspected local priest, your boss, in your family and sometimes your closest friend or lover. 

Have you met one?
