April 2010: MFA Thesis Show



My MFA thesis show, upon graduation from the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois, consisted of a series of celebration signs that visualize the 4000 Years for Choice history. These signs are intended to connect people with spaces, namely, clinic spaces where there is little, if no, active grass-roots pro-choice presence. Rather than “defending” clinics whenever there is an anti-choice attack, why not think pro-actively with art, music, and festivities that speak to the joyfulness and empowerment that is gained from knowledge, resources, creativity, and autonomy in our lives? These signs speak to this potential, as women learn about the ancient traditions of contraception and abortion and realize they embedded within history for as long as it has been recorded.
