1620

I began the pieces in the 1620 portfolio in 2020, 400 years from when the English settled in the land of the Wampanoags. The work was derived from a large embroidery of the Mayflower which my mother had created in the 1940s. As the months passed, the pandemic, the summer of unrest in the streets and political verbiage all came to a head and my work began to examine white supremacy and systemic racism, far from what my mother envisioned.
