I would like to make things beautiful, but a tawdry and repulsive kind of
beauty. A braver sort than people have from birth. Sexy zombies on a bicep.
That sort of thing. Ces longs to be a tattoo artist and embroider skin with
beautiful images. But for now shes just trying to reach adulthood without
falling apart. Powerful, poetic and disturbing, Needlework is a girls
meditation on her efforts to maintain her bodily and spiritual integrity in the
face of abuse, violation and neglect.
