“Property or Commodity”
Acrylic on canvas - 24in. x 36in.
This piece alludes to the cost of having a womb and who has the right to control it. How does the political money/lobbying influence who has the control? The ambiguity suggests the price of womanhood in reference to birth, sexuality, and self ownership, while illustrating the “priceless” powerful possibilities of those who have a uterus. The haphazard crumpling and shoving of money into the female pelvis also mirrors the action of paying for sex or the illusion of sex. Are women in control of those transactions or are they left over from misogynistic ideals?
