Description
"Codify Roe" by Nora Falk
Medium: Mixed Media. Fabric, wire, glass and semi-precious beads, paper
Size: 19" x 8"
Artist Statement:
Engelmacherin - Angel Maker. That's who women "in trouble" had to turn to in Austria before a law passed in 1973 (the same year that brought us Roe) that made abortions safe and legal . 50 years later, in the USA, evangelical misogynists want women to revert to back alley procedures with coat hangers and knitting needles. The codification of Roe vs Wade by the Congress could have protected a woman's right to reproductive freedom and healthcare choices. Now we live in the era of the Dobbs Decision. I am angry, and I dissent with this piece of art.
