Unknown - Artwork 1032
A large stitched textile banner framed beneath glass, this work combines a Union flag motif with hand-sewn lettered panels and appliquéd fabric squares. Bold block lettering, patches of printed cloth and embroidered details create a quilt-like grid that alternates between decorative florals and blunt, confrontational phrases, producing a tension between craft and propaganda. The palette is dominated by warm pinks and reds with blue accents and black typography, while the irregular seams and visible stitching emphasize its handmade, grassroots origin.
Viewed as an object both political and intimate, the piece reads as a narrative cloth that records anger and provocation through found fabric, handwritten panels and deliberate, theatrical composition.
