Abstract
On June 24th2022, the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe V Wade. The discourse over abortion has been heavily debated. This work does not hold preconceived notions or engage in biased conversation. My work acknowledges the persistent discourse on abortion and the many themes that are brought up in those conversations. Dialogue consists of five works being three intaglio prints, a sculpture installation, and a large-scale drawing. The dynamism of the mediums is a reflection of the same complexity as the topic.Each work represents a different discourse surrounding abortion. My intaglio printMidwifery depicts the medical practices/tools, Writhing depictsemotional and physiological perspectives, andTermination depictsdecision-making. The Sculpture installation Dividedreflects on the statistical analysis of the differentiating opinions on abortion in the US. The large scale ink drawing Dialogue is a representation of deeply listening and learning from each other and finding common ground.
