12 x 7 x 6
During the COVID-19 pandemic I made masks–not for health protective reasons or to distribute to health care workers but to record what was happening during that regime changing era. In September 2020, our honorable Supreme Court justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg died. Like many women and men, I looked up to her and admired her accomplishments, particularly appreciating her advocacy for gender equality and women’s rights, and for encouraging women to speak up about their experiences with sexual harassment. I honored her life with a cool-blue mask, stitched on her eyeglasses so she could continue to look over us and our lives, and amplified her signature collar with an Elizabethan ruffle.
The mask is part of my “The Future Has an Ancient Face” series of 24 masks that chronicle political, cultural and medical events during the 2 years of the 2020-2022 pandemic.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.
