SUM of Her Parts
2024-25
In 1978 my close friend (Heather Hertzog 1955-2017) took a picture of four college art students, including me, for an art piece. Over each of our heads are pillowcases obscuring us as individuals. Many, years later, with permission from the artist’s family, I use that same image as a starting point of my series, The Sum Of Her Parts. This exhibition deals with the loss of legalized abortions, our right to choose, and equal rights for women. "Are women individuals with a choice or are we merely vessels whoes parts are controlled by the government? At Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 1993 confirmation hearing to the Supreme Court, she stated “The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity, It is a decision she must make for herself. When Government controls that decision for her, she is being treated less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.’'
