"Alabama is one of the first states to ban abortion in the immediate aftermath of SCOTUS' overturning Roe v. Wade. No provision for rape or incest. Performing an abortion could carry a life prison sentence." This assemblage is made of medical debris, non-recyclable trash, and thread on a plastic bird seed bag. It measures 33.75 X 22 X 3 inches and weighs 1.6 lbs.
The Idaho GOP platform allows for a woman to die from eclampsia, infection due to incomplete miscarriage, and entopic pregnancy rather than receive a medically necessary abortion. Life begins at the point of fertilization. Some of letters are twisted because of what women in Idaho must undergo to get a medically necessary abortion should this platform become law. The decorative design is based on a painting in Freak Alley, Boise. Written around the fist is "Together With Love." (34X22")
This one-of-a-kind assemblage comprises letters from plastic and other packaging, medical debris, and thread on fabric. The letters spell out a quote from Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor after the United States supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022. "The womb is now, in Oklahoma, the safest place for a child to be." (21.5 X 43")
