Channelling Lizzie Borden

OCCUPY MY TIME GALLERY PRESENTS CHARLIE PI CHANNELLING LIZZIE BORDEN April 3rd - 3rd May Private View 3rd April 6.00-9.00pm Slam 25th April Lizzie Borden took an axe. Gave her mother forty whacks. When she saw what she had done. She gave her father forty-one. BUT IN BETWEEN SHE DID THE IRONING The rhyme gives the impression that Lizzie was a little girl; she was in her thirties. It was her stepmother not her mother. Her father killed her pet pigeons shortly before the murders. Lizzie Borden claimed she suffered from 'brown-outs' in which she had no memory of what she had done. These episodes occurred at a particular time of the month. Lizzie was found not guilty possibly because the jury could not believe that such a respectable young woman could commit such a horrendous act; possibly because they could not discuss the presence of menstrual blood.
