"Although the names for female contraception range from the euphemistic to the unflinchingly blunt, the material form of the medication comes in the sleek, universalized design of a pharmaceutical capsule."
"Sarah Ancelle Schönfeld's photographs, on display in the exhibition 'Labor Lab,' suggest a different way of imagining the drugs involved in regulating the reproductive cycle."
"Presented as matte enlarged c-prints, the images are created through the application of solvents-hormones, the morning after pill-to pre-exposed photo negatives, resulting in a Rohrschach test where viewers project their associations."
"Schönfeld's art is not photography—the camera is involved only peripherally—but it captures a fascinating picture of the hormonal unconsciousness, challenging viewers to rethink their perceptions of hormonal medications."
