E. Jean Carroll in a deposition taken for her lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, said she “never” considered coming forward with her accusations until the #MeToo movement.”Women who have been raped are looked at in this society as less, are looked at as spoiled goods, are looked at as rather dumb, to let themselves get attacked,” Carroll said in the deposition. She was a columnist for Elle magazine when she was assualted by Trump in a Bergdorf Goodman’s changing room in the 1990s.
Headdresses and crowns deify Kate Kelton’s subjects. She uplifts the Unsung Sheroes & Heroes, Patriarchy Smashers, Warrior Survivors, Silence Breakers, Philosophers, Truth-Tellers, Whistle Blowers and Thought Giants. She paints portraits cloaked in the garb of statues Ladislav Šaloun sculpted onto the train station that her great-grandfather, Josef Fanta, designed for Prague in 1901 – 1909.
Apotheosis through a reclaimed, reapplied Art Nouveau.
