This exhibition is one of five participating exhibitions in our 3rd annual @seesupportcollect Initiative. ID: Stay Safe (diptych) by Jamie Clyde 2022, Giclée Print and Acrylic Paint, 30x60 in. (total) Available for purchase With this work, Jamie Clyde draws from iconography reminiscent of the Pop Art movement and the salacious pop superstar figure, the banana. Jamie uses the framework of a male-dominated art era to construct conversations around a post-Roe America. Within the discourse of her work, Jamie revisits the profound inequality for people with bodies that bear children and the disheartening fact that safety and choice are not at the forefront of American politics. Stay Safe parades two large black and white-hued bananas. One banana in a classic grey tone; the other, seemingly dead and decaying, narrates the patriarchy's bygone sentiments still holding and forming current paradigms within United States legislation. The post-modern phrase explaining the meaning of work and the usage of the canonical banana within the framework of feminism and equality offers a transition of power for self and space for people mourning the loss of their rights as human beings in America. Jamie's work hosts a dialogue of being heard within the context of art history. Jamie Clyde updated the 2017 version of Stay Safe (a work in reaction to the political dismantling of Roe v Wade, which was auctioned initially for Planned Parenthood) to reflect the dire need to stand together in solidarity for the safety of anyone with a uterus. __________ Link in bio for more info! @seesupportcollect @artsy @latelacuratorial #seesupportcollect #womeninthearts #nonbinaryartists #bodyautonomy #artsy #jamieclyde #staysafe
