Erasure Poem #1
2025
Mixed media on photo etching
14" x 11"

The Erasure Poems project uses pages from the original Dobbs v. Jackson document as a vehicle to express my fury at the overturn of Roe v. Wade. This series was printed as photo etchings during my last residency at Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA. Handwork elements were implemented with a variety materials such as watercolors, gauche, ink, oil sticks, red tape, and gold leaf.
