Exhibit A as a body of work is about exploring and sharing the material experience of aborting a fetus. From the beginning of realization, through the medical procedures + information, to the emotional grieving and ultimately; preservation of the precious.
In the fall of 2018, this fetus was at 10 weeks. There was no heart beat, and it was RH positive. I am RH Negative, something I didn’t learn about myself until I started getting very sick. With out medical interventions like abortions, and medication- this scenario can easily become fatal for the pregnant person. It serves as an undeniable example that pregnancies are as complicated as the human body and deserve to be treated with dignity and medicine. Understanding that Abortion is a life-saving procedure is imperative to the functionality and success of our society, because it is imperative to the health of women, and people with uteruses.
We know that the criminalization of the womb is the antithesis of life. The struggle for reproductive sovereignty is deeply rooted in white supremacy. Everything is on Purpose.
