Birth Stories
Text has gained relevance in my work starting with my Birth Stories series, a group of nine drawings of social media posts of home birth stories narrated by midwife Lindsey Meehleis. These are moving accounts of the power of women as they struggle to believe in their capacity to give birth. At a time when medicalized birth is the norm, these stories are personal testimonies of the power of nature and the wisdom of midwifery, illustrated by drawings of snapshots of the first moments of birth.
