This artwork depicts women across the spectrum of life's stages, ages, faiths, races and nationalities all coming together in a rally-type setting working in unison towards a greater good. Together we stand stronger and must speak up for our rights for now and for the future. This piece's crochet perimeter has history itself as it was originally created by an unknown woman from a more modest time period, something for the home as a centerpiece on the table. I honor her labors while adding into it almost as a collaboration with years between and changing its original purpose to now hang proudly on a gallery wall. Similarly to the concepts of the political statement the figures are displaying at a particularly important moment in time where women's rights are being challenged once again.
