I Grew These For You Then Discarded Them
I Grew These For You Then Discarded Them

This work is about the organs that are our original tether to our mother and our children, and though our body disposes of it, its presence lingers for life. As serious shifts are being made in our country around a woman’s bodily autonomy, I am also exploring how I could be forged to grow these organs, like meat for a market.

Velvet curtains, silk, novelty yarn, thread, pantyhose, nylon mesh, sawdust, shoddy, acrylic medium, stainless steel, chain.

Approximately 12’ x 5’
