blueberry blues: "I THOUGHT YOU WERE MAD" Painting

There she was, alone, suspended in pain. Choked, hunched over, waiting for the seven-week blueberry sized fetus to pass. . . blueberry blues uses the playful and satirical horror to capture desperate scenes of an abortion whilst disembodying the artist’s recent history. Through the lens of Afro-surrealism, a genre in which absurdity, Blackness, and an ever-looming sense of dread not only coexist but are impossible to separate, blueberry blues is a commentary and natural response to existing in a world overshadowed by structural racism. People worldwide face threats to their reproductive rights. Shockingly, the abortion rate among black women stands at 3-4 times higher than that of white women. Even more distressing are the gynaecological healthcare experiences of black women, which often underscore a troubling pattern of being disregarded, unseen, and misunderstood all thanks to implicit biases. blueberry blues distils the current zeitgeist, offering a revelation about a hidden or often overlooked part of abortion – the Black experience.
