Tribute to NAWA founders and all subsequent members, names of current SC chapter along base. Divided into 3 centuries, 19, 20,21. Four founders shown handing caged birds, aka female artists, to original, Grace FitzRandolph, who frees them into next centuries. Depicts expected societal rules and fashion. Ironic use of vacuum cleaner bags for samplers, with names stitched, child like. Corsets, keys, cages, chatelain, approved art subjects. 20 century, my artistic journey with doubts, failures, dark places to hide but within glorious symphony of nature. 21 century, my confident, peaceful place with space to think and work. Carolina Wren as guardian. Birds and flight paths connect the centuries.
