Integrity Study No. 1

Artist

Sayward Johnson

Description

Double-woven copper wire with copper inserts, green patina; embroidered directly onto canvas.

From my series, “Integrity Studies," which reflects on the increasing fragility of democracy. The copper inserts are trapped within layers of double-woven copper wire, which is intended to protect them. The green patina eats away at the integrity and structure of the weaving. Each line of thread represents one voice.
