"The Women Are Not OK," 2024, by Scotti Taylor, is a striking mixed-media painting that powerfully critiques the healthcare system's treatment of women's health issues. The composition features a chaotic blend of colors and textures, with vibrant splashes of red, yellow, blue, and green, creating an intense and turbulent background.
The central focus of the painting is the bold, black text "The women are not ok," which is prominently displayed across the canvas. Surrounding this text are the names of various prescription medications—Lamictal, Buspar, Ambien, Prozac, Lunesta, Lexapro, Zoloft, Celexa, Xanax, Vivanse, Wellbutrin, Abilify—scattered and layered throughout the artwork. These medications represent the numerous treatments Taylor was prescribed over the past decade instead of the Estrogen she needed.
Embedded within this vibrant and chaotic background is a haunting black-and-white photograph of a woman in a mental institution from the 1970s. The photo is partially obscured and surrounded by circular lines, emphasizing a sense of entrapment and isolation. The juxtaposition of the photograph with the vivid, chaotic colors and the names of the medications creates a powerful narrative about the inadequacies and misdirections in women's healthcare.
The painting’s raw energy and emotional intensity convey a deep sense of frustration and advocacy. Taylor's work calls attention to the systemic issues in the treatment of women's health, urging for better awareness, understanding, and appropriate medical care. Through this artwork, Taylor not only shares her personal experiences but also amplifies the voices of many women facing similar struggles, making a compelling statement about the urgent need for change in the healthcare system.
