Workwear, a textile collage painting
November 2, 2020This painting, titled Workwear, includes the bottom half of an old canvas work apron and a small remnant from an antique overshot coverlet.
By uniting the two fabrics, I have fashioned a flag of independence. One that expresses the kind of freedom only experienced when one can rely on themselves to make or build what they need.
Workwear is a love letter to all things made by hand. It is a valentine to the beauty of imperfection and to the strength of our humanity.
