Kreiter emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging the link between housing insecurity and reproductive justice, stating, "The whole connection in the piece between housing and reproductive justice is that in this moment of crisis, we need our Janes." This highlights how societal issues need to be addressed collectively, reinforcing the idea that art can serve as a conduit for social awareness and greater understanding of complex issues.
She noted her collaboration with Nina Peaches Foster, a former addict and inmate, stating, "I attended her women's group there and introduced them to very simple spiritual uplift." This reflects Kreiter’s approach of intertwining art with personal narratives, creating a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by marginalized communities.
Kreiter's work examines dire social problems, saying, "With a background in political science and aerial dance performance, Kreiter has created a body of work over some 30 years that grapples with many of the most dire of social problems, including women in prison and the impact it has on their families." This assertion reinforces the importance of art in illuminating societal challenges.
Describing the essence of her project, Kreiter reveals, "The Jane in the title refers to the Jane Collective, an underground group of women who were also known as the Abortion Counseling Service of Women’s Liberation." This clarifies the historical context of the piece and its connection to contemporary struggles for women's rights.
