Item Details
with liberty and justice for all….
Portland, OR: Scantron Press, 2000. Limited Edition. "Words of bigotry and prejudice are woven into the fabric of this U.S. flag. The Equal Rights Amendment, first proposed in 1923, is still not part of the United States of America's constitution.
The flag of the United States is a loaded symbol for this country: laden with patriotism and a vast array of other emotions. In the artwork: “…with liberty and justice for all”, it becomes the opposite of its title: a revelation of the injustices, racism and classism of which the country is capable. It becomes a tapestry of name-calling, and as such is a culminating work in my exploration of derogatory language used against groups of people." [Artist statement]. Fine. Bright, and unmarred. Woven handset letterpress text on vellum, hand-stitching. 53x80" Signed by the artist. Item #11187
