acrylic on cradled wood panel
18 x 24″
I recently drew an abandoned textile factory where generations of women, wives and daughters of men who worked the mines and the mills, worked long hours at the looms and held their families together. Their strength and fortitude supported the growing industrial power of the United States.
The memories of these long-forgotten women reverberate through the dilapidated equipment, and the traces of their lives intertwines with the weeds that now reclaim the space.
The drawing of the factory marks the history; the painting indexes the emotions of the women who worked there and the humming of the now-silent looms.
