Metal Garments
Mary's Corset hangs precariously from a Trapeze bar, a player in the circus. In the Christian tradition, Mary has been used as a role model for women to live up to, denying her a role as an individual human being, a woman with a sexual identity, a wife, and mother with a broken heart.
