Bleeding Ideals

$600.00

54” x 17’ fiber art piece.

Bleeding Ideals was juried into the exhibition “Matters at Heart” and First Studio Gallery. Bleeding Ideals touches on our political dilemma in the U.S. Why is finding middle ground between the parties so difficult? Not only has compromise become a dirty word but blood has been spilled.

Dye was used to create blood splatter across both parties. Threads were used to depict the party positions. White thread is in the middle representing the reasonable people who will compromise freely. That group has narrowed considerable in Congress and in the general public so this area is a small portion of the quilt space. The threads switch to pale pink and blue to represent another small fraction that are able to compromise on issues. The threads quickly turn to true red and blue with the outer fringes turning deeper colors than the parties use in their marketing which reflects the far left and right who will no longer compromise.

Ships in the U.S. for free. International shipping available for a fee.
