Social Statements

My mom, sister, and I met in Shepherdstown, WV on Saturday. It's a good stopping poing between where they live and where I live. 

After an outdoor lunch, we wandered into an art gallery to find political statement quilts by artist Carol Williams.

The artist had also written opinion columns for a West Virginia paper for some years, until she gave up in despair about a year ago. 

 "I asked myself what I had achieved. And the answer was nothing. I hadn't bridged any gaps or convinced anyone of anything." 

 Having just driven past a bunch of "Your president is an idiot, Tr*** 2024" signs on my way to town, I was inclined to agree. Still, her quilts are amazing.
