VEEP VANCE AND THE NON-COMPLIANT WOMEN is a signed original digital print. The work was created using an appropriated circa 1917s British Poster, “Surviving Prison and Protecting Civil Liberties.” Its subject was the fight for the right of women to vote. It was fought even if it meant imprisonment and punishment by stomach tube. Two labor organizers, Rose Winslow and Alice Paul, were arrested and began hunger strikes in the District Jail on November 5, 1917. Prison officials responded with three-times-a-day "forcible feeding.” Alice Paul was given this punishment with the usual mix of milk and eggs. It was poured into a tube forcibly put in the nose or throat of the prisoner.
I adapted the poster from one in a suffragette exhibit at the Library of Congress. My manipulations include the addition of the label “Non-Compliant Women” and Vice President Vance himself who seems obsessed not by the “gals’ vote,” but their fertility. The torture for the non-compliant would appeal to him. After all, he’s the guy who said the “whole purpose of the postmenopausal female” is to raise kids. Period.
No doubt the Veep Bleep would endorse this punishment for the childless cat ladies. You know, the ones he thinks are running this country. Well, Gezzus H. Christus. Someone has to run it.
In addition to the signed print, unsigned ones and a large poster available on Artspan's Prints on Demand.
