"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. $ 405
In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, limiting abortion access in many states, while Alaska reaffirmed its commitment to reproductive choice. This artwork symbolizes that commitment, featuring a map of Alaska with a black-and-gray king salmon, and forget-me-nots on a reused coffee table top. It highlights that Alaska’s Supreme Court protects reproductive choice and that mifepristone requires provider support. Size: 30 X 42 inches $845
This art draws inspiration from the Texas commemorative quarter. It features the outline of Texas with a quote from Lt. Governor Dan Patrick about the SCOTUS ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. The piece responds to Texas’ role in the abortion rights debate, using medical debris to highlight healthcare implications and saddle leather to reflect the state’s cultural heritage. It emphasizes the complex junction of state identity, political ideology, & individual rights. Size: 35 X 40 inches $ 940
