Happy 30th Birthday to my wonderful husband AJ! I love you! It was not the year we were expecting, but it was my favorite yet!

January 6th, 2021 Mixed Media 16”x27” 2021 Processing the insurrection on January 6th, 2021, I began making marks as I thought about the day. The gallows in front of the Capital Building was one of the most sickening images, and quickly appeared in the piece. In order to drive home the surrealism of the day, the crowd is represented with amorphous Copic ink and Epsom salt patterns on Yupo in the bottom of the piece. The hanging found objects were used to transfer rust onto the top section. There are five hanging pieces to represent the five lives lost. As I reflected on the insurrection, I thought about how this event would have been perceived if people of color were holding it, and how many more lives would have been lost. As viewers look at this piece, I want them to see themselves in the mirror, and reflect on how they would have been treated. #macyartgallery #tcarted #teacherscollegealumni
