SCOTUS - I didn't know then what I know now

I did not know in 1997 that the body of work I completed for my grad school thesis was actually about 2022.

This drawing, which at one point was also a painting that I believe no longer exists (I had a bit of a burn cleanse a few years ago of pieces that didn't work that also had been over come from neglectful storage) has been on my mind a lot lately.

My thesis show was called "Issues of Gender"  which was horrible title. I was barely intellectually equipped to even know what I was talking about. But that has always been my work - I push into the murky unknown things I don't understand trusting that what I have to say has words somewhere. That the inner dialogue I think makes sense will eventually be deciphered and luminous. 

I have been looking at this work since the Supreme Court ruling to overturn the federal protection of women's autonomy was taken away back in May was leaked. This work, though it lacked what I was striving for so many years ago has stayed in my piles of work for a very good reason, because they hadn't yet been truly about what they are, indeed, about. They, sadly were made for this time in history that I wish had never come.

I considered doing new work, and have been slowly transforming some old pieces into new works that directly relate to this time. But some I don't think I can do anything to up-date them -  like this one.

I will rename this though: "Supreme Court Justice Samual Alito comes to call."
