This Sunday, I’m doing the Artist Talk at the closing of the show “HerStory.”

My piece, Armored Silence, carries the memory of Alice Paul, who understood the power of not stringing words together to convince others to do the right thing.

Armored Silence received recognition this year, and now I have the honor of speaking about it, the history behind it, the choices inside it, what it means to armor yourself without raising or losing your voice.

Where in your own life has silence done more work than words ever could?
