>Faces on the Wall
>
Today, I would just like to remind everyone that my current piece is not about Third Reich Germany or World War II. When this piece is complete, it will be a beaded replica of the Banksy pink car which is located on Brick Lane in London, England. You can learn more about it HERE.
When I saw that car in April, I imagined what it would look like in a semi-beaded future. Remember that the future cannot exist without the past, and my bead-embroidered shipping crate represents mankind's 'writing on the wall'. The prisoners in my beadwork are reminders of genocide, which is the worst possible crime on the face of the earth. At first I thought perhaps I'd be criticized for incorporating these images into my piece, but then I remembered that creating art involves taking risks. I chose these particular images because I feel that everyone will understand them, and also because mankind must never forget the past.
In my last post, I had mentioned the possibility of adding more numbers to the wall, and others have suggested adding the colours of the Nazi concentration camp badges. Well, the beads have spoken, and I am not going to do this. The first thing I want viewers to notice are the faces because the human face has the ability to communicate without saying a word...
What do the faces tell you?
