Choices :
This artist’s book is
a personal exploration of reproductive choice. With the numerous and intense
political messages and brash facts and figures, sometimes it becomes difficult
to see the intensely personal nature of the choices we make about our
bodies. Despite all the political rhetoric, it remains taboo to speak
about reproduction in most circles.
This book acts as a place of calm reflection about the choices I have made and why I feel strongly about women's rights. I have deep convictions regarding my own body but, despite these convictions, this issue makes each of us deeply vulnerable. I decided that I should create a piece that made me deeply vulnerable and shared my difficult trek towards being positive about my reproductive life. I wanted to share my vulnerability with the world in the hopes that it might speak to other individuals trying to make their way in the world.
