Jane Crow Forced Ultrasound Ceramic sculpture with slips and glazes ﬁred to cone 5, 5 x 10 x 8 inches, 2013 On January 25, 2013 the Bill Moyer PBS show Moyers & Company had two guests on reproductive rights and access to abortion. One of the guests, Lynn Paltrow used the term the New Jane Crow. The term had resonance with me as I was halfway through Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow and I am very much concerned about women’s reproductive rights. I started on a series of imaginary ceramic creatures half crow half woman. The series is ongoing, one is entered here - Jane Crow Forced Ultrasound. 61

About

Women’s Right’s: An Artist’s Perspective is an exhibition in support of Women’s Rights and the passage of the ERA. Artists were asked to become part of the celebration and effort to ratify the ERA through expressing their voices and showcasing their art. Art displayed is in all media that speaks to, examines and explores the social, political and economic issues related to women’s activism; art that expresses the women’s perspective on issues of women’s rights, political rights, reproductive rights, the ERA and issues of societal control. The art ranges from literal to poetic, abstract to representational, and psychological, to social and political commentary. Full catalogue is 180 pages of artwork juried by Karen Gutfreund, Curator; and members of UniteWomen.org. Features 35 works for the Pam Foss Fine Art Gallery and 173 for the online gallery and exhibition catalog. http://www.unitewomen.org
