Kashubian Coat,16”x16”, mixed media on board
It could be easy to assume this piece was intended to be a patriotic statement. A few people who have seen it in person have already had that reaction. This might happen in the United States or any of the 30 countries that use the three-color combination of red, white and blue in their flags. Perhaps you assume this was a nod to the Norwegian Curling Team. While I would love some of their ensembles for party outfits — no, this is not the case. This set of colors takes its inspiration from folk costumes found in Kashubia in northern Poland.
