This quilt is a meditation on the sense of helplessness and the erasure of women's voices that resulted from the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Playing with semi-circles arranged into log cabins, the blocks began to take on the images of women sitting, their heads bowed, their bodies encircled by their arms. With a calm, earthy palette, the women are connected to the natural cotton they sit on, connected to the earthiness of the world which birthed them. The spiraling quilting represents the feeling of being out of control and yet confined to a certain space.
