Freedom Fighter Series
On June 24, 2022 the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark case that made access to an abortion a constitutional right. The Court’s decision dismantled 50 years of legal protection and paved the way for individual states to curtail or ban abortion.
The Freedom Fighter series is a response to that decision. A Seat at the Roundtable, in her shielded armor, is the female warrior who will correct this legislative wrong. Her fruit garland uterus includes an IDU and ovaries. Her thick disheveled braid points to a female-focused battle. Throwing Down the Gauntlet serves as a metaphor for the challenge women face for reproductive freedom. The nine charms that dangle each represent the nice Supreme Court justices. One side of the charm features an IUD impression. The flipside, a ponytail - symbolic of female independence. Mother Mary Please Help Me breastplate features Madonna and child. Mary is masked, her words unknown. The bears at her side signify strength as well as great difficulty.
