Sealing the Nations

Published on 3 August 2024 at 16:03

The original concept for this painting was to create a crocheted tablecloth look by writing tiny names. The background was formed with this in mind and you can still see hints of the background in the final piece, but they are very subtle now. I am including a process photo so that you can see those names. The colorful strips represent people from all kinds of cultures and nations. They come together in the center (intentionally imperfect) circle where they are united as hands on an altar, all of the circular pieces representing a sleeve attached to a hand in the rectangular box. This was painted in May of 2023.
