Witness My Shame

by Shary Boyle

In Witness My Shame, a collection of 16 mini-comics, Shary Boyle creates images of childhood and adolescence, exploring issues of power, gender, sexuality, and dysfunction. These imperfect, confrontational, urgent drawings enable Boyle to critically and humourously examine our relationships with ourselves, with our families, and with our culture. In so doing she underscores the poignant fragility of our very humanity.

I wouldn't recommend it as it wasn't too inspiring (at least not for me). It had interesting things,
I liked the series: "I feel funny mommy".

I wish that the "book cover image" was "on hand" because it is dumbfounding, like everything else that Shary Boyle does. Her art is beautiful horrible. It is what my nightmares would like to be.

well this was weird. equal parts awesome and disturbing. not often a drawing makes me go "oh my god..." after seeing it.
