Project Description
For my senior thesis show I will be creating several large works dealing with current reproductive rights in the US. for these projects I've made previously books, sculptures, and wearable items. My practice is research heavy and it is important for me to stay up to date on current medical data when making work.Segment of my artist statement
"As an interdisciplinary artist, my practice focuses on themes of gender discrimination, medical discrimination, and bodily autonomy. With the current legislative oppression on the rights of reproduction, I create works with the goals of education and community connection, as these are the greatest weapons one can wield in the face of oppressive legislation.
Print is an ideal medium for this practice, as it is the easiest to create many in a short period, as well as financially accessible to share. Print has a history in punk and political movements. The ritual of making also is reminiscent of sewing, and feels like an extension of my family’s practices. Continuing the ritual of craft in my own medium and methods."
Research Tasks: Reading medical journal articles/helping seek out ones relevant to the content of my practice. Researching different aesthetic eras and the significance of the imagery within those periods.
