“Women have been fighting for equality since the dawn of time, which is why I use dinosaurs as a metaphor for this ancient struggle ... I enjoy incorporating humor to make serious subjects approachable. The plastic dinosaur toys are silly at first glance, but I transformed them into suffragists to represent the South Dakota Universal Franchise League and the South Dakota Equal Suffrage Association. Suffragist Sue honors the strength and tenacity of women from South Dakota ... I specifically chose to silkscreen on fabric since fiber arts are often associated with women’s work, and women worked hard to make the 19th Amendment reality.”
