The small photographic work Court Artist (Supreme Court) (2023) presents a reflection of the artist captured in a framed photograph of the US Supreme Court from 1981. The judicial line-up includes Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to serve as a US Supreme Court justice. The image relates the artist’s body and identity to the judicial portrait as a genre, which has almost always centred on men.
