This is a deep violet-colored fleur de lis on a
background of French script. It is painted on
Hurricane Katrina-salvaged wood. I've wrapped wire
around the top and threaded hematite beads through
it for hanging. The painting is 10.125" x 5.25".
After the hurricane, my mother and I gathered up
scrap wood from her neighborhood in Metairie, my
brother's neighborhood in Lakeview, and other
locations around New Orleans. I love the idea of
taking ugly, damaged things and turning them into
something beautiful and meaningful. Also, people who
view and enjoy my art tell me their stories from
Hurricane Katrina. Every story is unique, just as every
painting is unique.
