Eco Art with a Message
Glitter embossed Statue of Liberties in a variety of colors surrounding a silouette of the United States of America made of an astro-turf welcome mat with a plastic daisy.
The Lady Liberties in a variety of colors represent how America is made up of a mix of people of color and they welcome people from around the world.
A classic welcome mat with plastic daisy traditionally placed at the front door of a home is
the material of choice to create the American shape.
The dusty old style frame draws attention to our long history from places
even older than the U.S. and how I believe we can combine all
these diverse elements into a compelling piece of art.
-Noun. pearl-clutcher (idiomatic, derogatory) A prim, prudish, or easily offended person.
-Material- Acrylic on canvas
When a lady gasps in shock and raises her hand to her neck adorned with pearls.
-The phrase pearl clutching, which means being shocked by something once-salacious that should now be
seen as commonplace.
- I combined the raised fist, the global symbol for fighting oppression,
with a string of pearls being broken as a way to symbolize that the old prudish ways should end.
- The little sewing needles with butterfly wings and the thread "antenna"
are meant to symbolize mending and our ability to put things back together, hopefully better.
The quotes around the perimeter are:
"You got to figure out which end of the needle you gon be, the one that's fastened to the thread or the one
that pierces the cloth." ~Sue Monk Kidd

"Life is a balance of holding on and letting go."
