Carrie and The Cow Tongue
This piece remains my favourite personal commission I have ever done, commissioned by Heather Ross, the woman Carrie protected in this story. When she commissioned this piece, she wrote the statement below for everyone to know:
“Looking back through the hundreds of e-mails between Carrie and myself, I can’t help but think of the moments when we talked of nothing specific but laughed until we couldn’t breathe. There were a few moments when the topic was specific. Very specific actually. It was an embarrassing, scary and I didn’t know what to do about it kind of specific. When I needed someone to just hear me, there she was. Listening patiently at the other end of the call. I explained how this film producer picked me up for a meeting, and after getting in the car he sexually assaulted me. Me! The fat girl from Tucson, who felt repulsive enough that this sorta thing could never happen to. She was kind, soft spoken and was exactly what I needed.
A few weeks later Carrie sent me a message online that said, “I just saw *blank* at Sony studios. I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany box wrapped with a white bow.” Naturally I asked her what was inside and she said, “It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli in Westwood, with a note that read, “If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box!”
A simple gesture confirmed what we all know, this woman was indeed a badass.
There are a few hidden messages in this beautiful piece. I had the heart necklace blessed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama when I met him in San Francisco. My mom and I then gave it to Carrie at her 50th birthday party. As for the other things, I will keep those to myself. For me Carrie was that one person besides my Grandma who I could go to when I felt broken. She could magically put my pieces together and guard me from the world.”

April is #SAAM. We use this time to raise awareness about sexual violence.
My new piece “Carrie and the Cow Tongue” was commissioned by Heather Ross as commemoration of a friend who stood up for her and so many other survivors of sexual assault and violence. Visit my Facebook to find the original post of the piece to read Heather’s amazing story.
For the months of April and May 2019, I am selling both my Carrie pieces online and donating a portion of the sales to the Canadian Women’s Foundation in Carrie’s name.
Please consider sharing this post, telling your friends and loved ones about it, and asking them to tell their friends about it. These special editions will only be available for April and May, so if you want to complete your Carrie collection, this is the time to do so. Every purchase both helps support my art and sends money to an incredibly vital foundation that helps women and girls that need more people like Carrie in their lives.

The Canadian Women’s Foundation is Canada’s public foundation for women and girls. They work to empower more women and girls to move themselves out of violence, out of poverty, and into confidence and leadership. The Foundation embraces an inclusive definition of “women” and “girls” that includes people who identify as women, girls, trans, genderqueer, and gender non-binary.
