House on Fire, 2022
Watercolor, graphite and embroidery on paper 9.5 x 12 inches

A house form brings to mind personal boundaries. It isn't too great a stretch to draw a line between our feminist history and the idea that the Supreme Court's decision on Roe is akin to burning down someone else's house.
