Yesterday’s
mail brought the news that my piece “In
Honor” was accepted for the “PaperWork In, On, and Of Paper VI” exhibition at
The Foundry Art Centre in St. Charles , MO. February
8, 2013
and continues through March 22, 2013 .
“In
Honor” was inspired by the entertainment page from the New York Herald Tribune,
July 26, 1943 . The insert is the actual
newspaper. One of the actors in “This Is The Army” was Ronald Reagan. The
strips of textile include military prints and hand-dyed fabrics. Included are
purple to signify the Purple Heart and a red to signify the life blood that has
been shed. The stitching is all names of some who served from WWII through the
current time.
In Honor
Just
like the name of this piece…I am honored to have this one chosen for the
exhibition as it honors those who have served.
(This piece can be seen in the
Other Textile Art Gallery
