Rebecca Pempek

is a recent MFA recipient from UNC. Her most recent painting and printmaking work utilizes her pelvic MRI scans to interrogate the history and mythologization of female pain. By layering and abstracting 17th-century reproductive anatomical illustrations with fauna imagery and gestural mark-making, she reclaims agency over the narratives of chronic pain.
