Description
Stencil
monotype
;
“The
artist
is
dealing
with the
symbolism
of the
shield
,
which
represents
character
,
protection
, and
strength
. The
image
of the
ant
is
like
a
totem—describing
certain
traits
and/or
tendencies—and
, here,
symbolizing
patience
. The
semi-transparent
woman
is
used
to
express
personal
memory
and
history
vis
a
vis
culture.”
