The Uterus Flag Project

My work involves a critique of a misguided patriarchal medical institution that misdiagnoses women based on culturally biased attitudes.  My process of making is connected to female bodily experience and domestic labor.  I have learned about intimate experiences through acts of art making and sharing conversations and dialogue with others.  I am interested in challenging received notions of what is craft?  What is women’s work?  What is fine art?  I’m interested in exploring alternative methods of art making.  Through this process I have reconnected my ancestral threads and have come to realize the importance of honoring what was once considered “women’s domestic work.”
