Artist CommentaryLabel
Printed behind the intense and staccato rhythm of the ‘warrior’ spikes are John R. Lewis quotes that comfort me in our turbulent time:
"Do not get lost in a sea of despair
Do not become bitter or hostile
Be hopeful, optimistic!
Never, ever be afraid to make some noise, NOISE!
And get into good trouble
We will find a way,
Make a way
Out of NO way"

Technique or ProcessLabel
Thickened dye is printed through Thermofax screens onto silk on top of cotton muslin; Printing is also done with a gridded stamp glued on Tap plastic, made from a fragment of crochet made by my Romanian grandmother. Vintage cotton ‘spikes’ are fused onto the background. The ‘bursts’ are of hand dyed rayon, also fused onto the background.
Cotton muslin, silk Habotai, commercial vintage cotton.
