Power Strip
2022
ripstop, interfacing, cording, embroidery, gimp trim, fan, plinth, LED lights
​8 x 3 x 3 ft
Public sculpture made with The University of Memphis and UrbanArt Commission
This sculpture is also made possible by this sponsor, Ordination for All:
   Ordination for All believes women must be ordained in order to reflect the equity of God’s gestational priesthood power.
Based on faith-affirming guerrilla-style art-happenings, Ordination for All aspires to create a space to articulate issues of gender inequality that well-behaved women may be hesitant to raise above a polite whisper. We intend to put ourselves in the public eye and call attention to these gendered practices. We sincerely ask our leaders to deflate these phallic symbols.
    La ordenación de mujeres es un deseo mundial: somos una familia mundial de hermanos y hermanas unidos para pedir a los líderes de la Iglesia que presenten este problema ante el Señor en oración.

Text reads: "Power may be bestowed upon us, it is true. But when we exercise control, dominion, or compulsion upon any of mankind, ​Amen to the power of that man."

At Yeshua & Yeshua, we believe contextual and expansive readings of scripture are the foundation for moral communities. That’s why for the last  25 years, we have tried to fit 2,000 years of historical commentary and alternative interpretations into the 10 point font footnotes of our StudentTorahs© and StudentBibles©. As the world’s leading apologetic Bible Publisher, we are committed to using our reach and size for good. We strive to promote LGBTQIA+ figures and women within their biblical historical frameworks, so that liberating readings are within reach of everyone, everywhere.
