Unity
Unity
By choosing straight, hard edged shapes to contrast with their curvilinear interior patterns, I am representing the complexity of today’s American society. We are individually different but the beauty of our diversity can unite us. And of course, the colors are predominantly red, white, and blue. The following poem by the artist, Susan Lackey, is the inspiration for this artwork.
We are so different individually.
We have such beauty in diversity.
Oh, the complexity
In our society.
But see we must, a strength in unity.

The Life Gestures Collection
A gesture is the movement of a hand or something in a hand to express an idea or meaning. The paintings in this collection represent how artist, Susan Lackey, interprets and expresses human feelings or human actions. Some are humorous and some are serious in spirit. However, all are intriguing.
