TREAD UPON
Tread Upon
An Interactive Perspective on Patriarchy
2021
55” x 97”
Tread Upon visually brings forth an important conversation, an invitation to learn, evolve.
Repetition suggests conformity, culturally perpetuated in a myriad of ways, often swept under the rug.
Menstrual pads, for women only. White, suggesting purity, wholeness.
Blood represents life. Menstrual blood, womanhood.
Crochet, a domestic art, women’s work.
Tread upon, like a rug, disregarded, disrespected, dishonored, blue sky dreams trampled.
Blood stains, egg shaped. Birth. New beginnings.
Repetition suggests solidarity, joining together in our individuality, women with men, to shift perspective to equality for all.
