Artist Statement: In 2014 I dreamed this image in hot pink. My daughter Nadia was standing in a field looking directly at the viewer. She was wearing a business suit and she had a baby on her hip. As I approached her I could see that there were hundreds of quotes in the beautiful sky behind her.
I dye-painted the top in the winter of 2015 and started to quilt it, then in June 2015 I stopped because I was stuck. In July I decided to add the crows because crows mean change, are mystical, and are considered feminine. In September 2015 I had to stop working on Equality to work on another project and couldn't return to it until May 2018.
The United States changed considerably between 2014 when I dreamed Equality and 2018. In 2014, the hot pink color didn't make sense to me but it did make sense in 2018 with the women's movement and the #MeToo movement.
When I first dreamed this image, I thought it was about my daughter but as I was making it I realized that it was really about me, and my daughter, and my granddaughter, and my mother, my sister, my nieces, and all women who have fought for Equality for Women.
