More information
This installation brings together painting, drawing and collage. Its title is taken from the annual count of women murdered by men in United Kingdom. Harrison wants to demonstrate that femicide is not an isolated or localised incident, and that all too often these murders are committed by husbands and family members of the victims. The quote on the large canvas that reads "If I'm not in on Friday I may be dead" comes from a casual comment Judith Nibbs made as she left work. Nibbs was beheaded by Dempsey Nibbs, her husband of 30 years.

Esta instalación reúne pintura, dibujo y collage. El título hace referencia al recuento anual de mujeres asesinadas por hombres en Reino Unido. Harrison quiere demostrar así que el feminicidio no es un incidente aislado ni localizado, y que con demasiada frecuencia estos asesinatos son cometidos por maridos y familiares de las víctimas. La cita en el gran lienzo que reza “If I’m not in on Friday I may be dead” proviene de un comentario casual que hizo Judith Nibbs al salir del trabajo. Nibbs fue decapitada por Dempsey Nibbs, su esposo durante 30 años.

Aquesta instal·lació reuneix pintura, dibuix i collage. El títol fa referència al recompte anual de dones assassinades per homes al Regne Unit. Harrison vol demostrar així que el feminicidi no és un incident aïllat ni localitzat, i que massa sovint aquests assassinats són comesos pels marits i familiars de les víctimes. La cita en el gran llenç que diu "If I'm not in on Friday I may be dead" prové d'un comentari casual que va fer Judith Nibbs en plegar de la feina. Nibbs va ser decapitada per Dempsey Nibbs, qui havia estat el seu marit durant 30 anys.
