“For My Will Is As Strong As Yours And My Kingdom As Great”, Anna L. Cone
Theses and Dissertations
My work responds to trauma, systems of power and abuses of power. The pieces give materiality to unseen labor and devalued knowledge, often disseminated from the “feminine,” domestic spaces of kitchens and baths, through practices of magic, astrology, ritual and baking.
