Miscarriage Art

10/5/2016

 
This is a preview of a body of work I have been building for several months. My husband and I recently suffered a miscarriage, and I wrote poetry and began painting works that expressed my frustration and grief. I plan to do something that combines the two in the near future, but have only started brainstorming what I intend to do. I want to share my grief with others who have suffered from miscarriage, because that among other things has helped our family the most, and I want our society to grow past the stigma and taboo attitude we have surrounding the subject miscarriage. Finally, I intend for people to see the hypocrisy in mourning the death of a wanted unborn child, and recognizing his or her humanity, while we as a society still celebrate a person's "right" to purposefully end an unborn child's life. If we mourn for one, we should protect the other. They are the same. For now, since October is Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month, I am sharing a glimpse into my art about miscarriage.
