From my 2026 solo show "The Winter of our Discontent," in which I paired my paintings of the Log Lady from the David Lynch show 'Twin Peaks' with a sound element - voicemails from 50+ American women and people AFAB, giving their opinion of JD Vance's infamous "childless cat ladies" statements.
 
In the backdrop of these Log Lady pieces I included a gamut of symbolism, including witchery, Woody Guthrie's phrase "This machine kills fascists,” suffragism, Ruth Bader Ginsberg's iconic collars, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

“Sufferin’ ’til Suffrage” (2025)
In the early 1900s, the women's suffrage (the right to vote in political elections) movement used yellow roses to show support for women's right to vote, while anti-suffragists donned red roses to show their opposition to the movement.
 
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted U.S. women the right to vote, and was finally passed by Congress in 1919. It was then submitted to the states for ratification. 
 
The National Woman’s Party, led by Alice Paul, began sewing stars on a giant purple, white, and gold flag. Each time a state ratified the 19th Amendment, a new star would be sewn on the flag. 
 
The amendment achieved the requisite 36 state ratifications to secure adoption, and thereby went into effect, on August 18, 1920.
 
“Sufferin' 'til Suffrage” was the title of an episode of Schoolhouse Rock, an animated educational show for kids, that ran from 1973 to 1985. This suffrage episode originally aired on February 21, 1976.
