Featured Artists
Chelsea Amato
Who is @chelseascreename? Modern Diogenes. Scared possum meme. Neurosis trapperkeeper. Super Creeper. Sharing the eternal realm & archiving the echo of the modern age as an artifact to people of the future.
Artist Statement:
My ongoing series: In Fertility is a discussion of women’s mental powerlessness in our reproductive biology. It is a reflection of the range of emotions and thoughts in the theme of reproduction, undergoing fertility issues and going through fertility treatment under the shadow of increased government interference in women’s reproductive sovereignty. My artwork is symbolically female in spirit and represents the biological and spiritual parts of a woman. . .
My series will intertwine the general fear and anxieties in fertility over the spiritual, the sexual and the scientific and will include the cascade of emotions from anticipation and aspiration to humiliation, anger, disappointment and grief. My series will give a voice to women undergoing fertility issues and treatment as well as bring awareness to reproductive injustice.
