                                   Cold Comfort Quilt (Trigger States)
                                   Hand-Cut Acrylic Felt
                                   H. 50 x  W. 50"
                                    2022

                                  The recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe V. Wade motivated me to create this quilt and explore ideas of comfort and protection.  Quilts                                      supply warmth, coziness, mark important life events and create community. Cold Comfort Quilt (Trigger States) challenges its practical use while                                                        referencing traditional construction. Each quilt block is a hand cut design of  initials of the 13 states  who have trigger laws regarding abortion. These states                                    either have already or will soon eliminate 50 years of a woman’s right to control her reproductive health.
