As a multi-disciplinary printmaker exploring the intersections of 2D and 3D art, I create work that challenges a society that has regressed into shaming, blaming, and controlling women- a nation that has taken away our constitutional right to bodily autonomy. Fired up after reading the quotes from the legislative authors of restrictive state abortion ban laws; “women are irresponsible” and “women can control their reproductive lives by refraining from sexual intercourse,” I use my art to express my frustration and challenge the power dynamics affecting women. Ultimately, I aspire to create works that challenge viewers to contribute to the ongoing conversation around gender equality by confronting the systems of oppression that negatively impact our lives.
