FLAGS

2018

America Sleeps is a series of flags inspired my concept of Betsy Ross as a female artist who sewed her interpretation of her nation's past present and future into existence. These flags are small and wall size but all are pieced from homespun fabrics such as mattress ticking, linen, burlap, and upholstery fabrics. They are then stretched over handmade frames and painted with oil, beeswax,  and mixed media.
