The show is called In the Land of… and is from FIG (Feminist Image Group), a group I’ve been involved in for over 10 years here in San Diego. Here’s the front…
And the back…
I’m sure I have official pictures somewhere. Just not sure where. It’s about 9×12″ on each side. There are acrylic stands holding it up.

Well I am in Collection C, which will be at the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County in Moorhead, MN, Jun 4-Sep 3, 2027.
Love your work. Thanks to controversy, I found you. Perhaps the negativity will bring more focus to your thoughtful, well-executed works of art. Not your Grandma’s quilting….but I am a Grandma and a quilter and I for one love what you are doing. Thanks

This is good stuff. Just because we work in fabric doesn’t mean we shouldn’t attack ‘adult’ subject matter. There are quilt shows and then there are quilt shows. And btw, I’m 54 years old and sick and tired of the notion that female genitals are somehow shocking or disgusting. Men? Their ‘bits’ are on display in every art gallery on earth, turned into architecture, enshrined as a major form. Just because ours don’t dangle out the front doesn’t mean they’re gross.

I’m sitting in the UK following the controversy surrounding your quilt. I find it amazing that there are still people in the world finding the female/male body “disgusting”. I wish more quilt/textile artists were making political art like yours. Well done to you and those who are prepared to face the critics by presenting such work.
