Conversations With Pat Painting

Wear more makeup, smile more, be funny, be nicer! (you were asking for it) Do your nails, buy new clothes, get better shoes! (you spend too much money) Make your lips bigger, your waist smaller, get rid of those elevens, whiten your teeth! (you’re so vain) Lose some weight! (your tits are too small) Body fat is bad! (you need a bigger ass) The pill is bad for you, take better care of yourself! (abortions are illegal) Get engaged, get married, have kids, work hard! (you let yourself go) Be the best employee you can be! (you don’t care about your family) Be a stay-at-home-mom, your kids are number one! (you’re too lazy to get a real job) Know what you want, don’t play games! (you’re too picky) Go on dates, gain experiences, don’t settle! (you’re slutty) You’re beautiful the way you are! (be more like her) Be confident, be independent, follow your dreams! (you’re intimidating) __________ The Enough is Enough collection features stories about betrayal, manipulation, abuse, control and a lack of rights for women. Inspired by the current state of affairs in the USA after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in which men are once again making decisions for women and their bodies in order to keep minorities controlled and silenced - this type of manipulation and abuse is something that women, the trans community and other minorities have experienced in the home for years. Disguising the criminalization of abortion as a pro-life decision is a disservice to the people who are losing the right to live their lives on their own terms. Abuse, neglect, gas-lighting and manipulation are tactics used by the oppressor to maintain control over a person, or in this case, an entire group of people. The name Pat is used to address the Patriarchy throughout this collection. This collection is an expression of rage directed at those who have the audacity to claim to be acting in the best interest of those whom they are controlling.
