Choice is Hard, Digital print, 11 x 17 inches, 2016 As a woman living in the Midwest, one of the most pertinent issues I deal with is reproductive rights. In Choice is Hard, I wanted to show the difficulty of having your choices taken away in contemporary America. I chose to display this in a satirical, vintage advertisement while commenting on the different economic situations. These perspectives are imperative to address the needs of women and how securing these rights can affect their lives. 116

About

Exhibition Catalog for "VISION". Envision, conceive of, imagine . . . In this turbulent time of political changes, women's rights, social, racial, gender and economic inequality, global conflicts, cultural instability, reproductive choice/health care issues, and environmental challenges of overconsumption and resource scarcity - how do we effect positive change through art? How do we listen, speak our minds, include, and act in collaboration or alone across generational differences, races, identities and cultures, to build our future, locally and globally? VISION seeks to bring self-identified women artists into dialogue, retracing an account of the past manifesting in the present, to address major social themes, to define and bring forth what is important to themselves, their families, their communities, our nation and the world at large with art that either reflects on past injustices or focuses on a vision for a more positive, empowering future.
