Very interesting, I want to see more.
Well done....quite an emotional piece.
I wove the Please Don"t Shoot Me piece this year, but have been thinking about it for 10. There is an exhibit at our local YWCA which I hope to get it in. The criteria is to show a human face or form. As the riots happened mostly downtown,(where the Y is) and it's the 10 year anniversary, I think the timing is right. Yes, this young man was standing on the corner holding his sign, I will never forget it.
It's good you did this piece. Thank you for posting it.

And the subject is still an appropriate comment for what is going on elsewhere in the world in the last few weeks. Thank you very much for posting, and I have no doubt your piece will be displayed!
Brilliant piece. Best of luck on future work...I can't imagine that you wouldn't
get into the show. Thanks for sharing.
I love your work. What Talent!
I hope this makes it into the show.
Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm off to the floor loom now but I can see another tapestry in my future!
I just saw this again. Same impact as the first time.
Well done!
Have a good day!
I just exhibited this piece and got very different reactions to it. I guess I expected that.
I remember the Watts Riots in 1965 Los Angeles. I was an 8 year old
boy looking at the newspaper, watching the news on TV, and listening to my
parents and their concerns that the riots would spread to East Los
Angeles. Our family had actually moved out of the riot curfew area a week before the
violence broke out. My friends in my old school had to survive the riot zone.
I remember the Chicano Moratorium against the Vietnam War in 1970s and I was marching in demonstrations in L.A.
I know that art can express politics. But this piece is more than that. It expresses humanity, the desire for the freedom to live.
I like it very much.
Have a joyful day!
