CHOICE NATIONAL JURIED EXHIBITION

At a time when the erosion of women’s reproductive rights is causing women in some parts of the country to feel that Roe vs Wade is a distant history, women artists from all across the nation interpreted and created artwork to the theme, Choice.  They give us insight to their artwork through their writings about Choice.  While one might think Choice is just about abortion, the artists and juror Catharine Clark show us that Choice encompasses the spectrum of reproductive rights:  if and when to be a mother, method of contraception and termination of pregnancy.  It is about celebrating a wanted pregnancy and weeping over a pregnancy wanted and not fulfilled.  It is choosing to terminate a pregnancy without regret or feeling conflicted with loss wishing circumstances were different.  The artists tell us Choice is what each woman must have: the right to decide for herself.

Juror Catharine Clark, owner and Director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco writes,  “...choice is an exceedingly complex topic, I think it merits a thoughtful voice. Artists whose work is approaching the topic with the depth and complexity the subject demands was chosen for the exhibit”
