Bridal Staircase
Kathy Huberland
When I was young I had a belief that the White Knight would come and carry me off to eternal protected bliss. I lived with this fantasy and did not think too far beyond a dreamy white wedding day. My piece deals with the not so dreamy reality that, for most women, lies beyond that wedding day. The bride is portrayed as an offering—encased in gaiety, in lace, in flowers, in dreamy sky blue. As the bride descends the stairs the blue slowly changes to gray and the bride’s failure to look clearly at where she is going leaves her up against the wall.
