I am a full-time feminist and lifelong maker. Each of these stitched squares represents the story of at least one person who has suffered or died because of abortion bans. All the stories deserve to be more widely known.

Someday, when women+ regain the right to abortion, we must remember those who paid the price for this shameful time in our history.

Until then, I will continue to stitch their stories.

“This deeply moving project draws you into the individual human stories in a way that feels real but not overwhelmingly, hopelessly dark. Art as activism is powerful because of its beauty in the face of ugliness, its humanity in the face of monstrous evil and because it is an act of creation in the face of destruction.”
