Decades after the passing of the Thirteenth Amendment in the United States, a culture of servitude continued to persist in the homes of the ultra wealthy.

The vast majority of those who served were Irish women. Underpaid and overworked, they spent endless days attending to countless difficult and repetitive tasks.

The Irish poet Samuel Beckett once wrote that there are only three certainties in life: that we were born, that we will die, and that we cannot keep silent.

The paintings in this exhibition seek to reimagine these women, whose voices were long suppressed, as a way of revisiting that last certainty.
