Seeing photographs of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's collars photographed in a flat format, I began working from a photograph of one and then went my own direction.

This embroidery was made at my studio at Index Art Center in Newark, NJ. It is a view of a tree (full of birds) and the Bamberger building that could be seen from my window. Index Art Center is now closed at this location. The building will be demolished and a 14 story apartment building will be built.

The quote reads:
The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When the government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a full adult human responsible for her own choices.
— RBG, Senate Confirmation Hearings, 1993.
