Red, White and Blue


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.
