MOTEL is an installation/sculpture. On entering the exhibition space, one sees a large wooden box. This view gives nothing away. But from steps on either side of the piece, one looks into the box from above and sees a 1/2 scale, seedy motel room rendered in full detail. In it, there is a woman waiting. From the clock radio on the bedside table comes a mash up of the Watergate hearings (1973), and the January 6th hearings (2022). These two events bookmark Roe v. Wade, making MOTEL a response to the recent Supreme Court Dobbs decision. This woman could have had to travel across state lines to procure an abortion. Perhaps when she got there, the clinic was closed. Or perhaps, more terrifyingly, the motel room is the clinic.
