"In my personal life I have found that in order to get anyone to listen to my story at all I’ve had to lighten the details significantly, use comforting language, even supplement with humor. To recount the weighty suffering that accompanies sexual trauma with a sense of levity is both an internal coping mechanism and a conditioned response from growing up in an environment that constantly warned me that my feelings would make others uncomfortable, so in order to spare anyone else from hurting I should protect them from what hurts me." Today on Maake we talk with Brooklyn-based artist Caroline Wayne @caroline__wayne about embroidery, creating art with deep personal narratives, writing, literature and much more.
