Auto Body
Laboring under the hot August sun, fifteen women inmates from a maximum security prison in upstate New York worked with artist Suzanne Lacy to transform three wrecked cars into sculptures, moving testimonials to the incredible violence they experienced in their lives. As they worked on the cars, memories unexpectedly returned. They sent their three wrecked cars into the world--the Abuse Car, the Brick Wall Car, and the Healing Car--in the hopes that their stories would educate people to the true impact of violence against women.
