ARTISTS STATEMENT
Aprons have been used throughout history for covering oneself while at work. These examples hang from a maze of clotheslines similar to Tibetan prayer flags. On the back of the aprons are images of flags from various countries around the world applied to white fabric. The white material was chosen to send a strong message of truce with one another, nation to nation.
To support the thought of working together the apron strings are tied one to another. A bold EKG line on the sheets around the perimeter progresses from a normal heartbeat to a flatline. We, as a world, are in distress.
Traditionally, Tibetan prayer flags are used to promote peace, wisdom, compassion, and strength. Viewers walk through the aprons to reflect about working together. In the pockets of the aprons are written examples of how certain insect and animals species join as one for the good of their communities.
A strong work ethic was of great importance in the founding of America. While we should not place our full identity in the work we do, it is a large part of how we make discoveries about ourselves. It can also be valued as a way to give back to the community we live in.........It is VITAL that we work together as individuals.
