Aid and Abet, 2022

When Roe vs. Wade was overturned in the summer of 2022, I began painting the more intimate objects of my life in a small gesture of defiance. Each entitled “Aid and Abet”, the unconventional still lifes brought together pieces from my lunches and studio debris with birth control pills, Plan B, abortion pills, and election ballots. I painted these eclectic still lifes fiercely with bright colors while listening to the news, contemplating this loss of female bodily autonomy.
