The Flag Series is about reclaiming the American Flag as something personal and of the moment. My process is rooted in and inspired by protest actions taken with the flag, traditions of quilt making, and abstraction. The composition, color, and ritual customs associated with the American flag are so fixed. There is nothing fixed or universal about the experience of citizenship; it’s very murky. My method of making this series acknowledges that complexity with a set of invented rituals.
