Description
"Rainbow Ribbons" is about society and the cutting of the safety net years ago. Poverty is represented in the dark lower part of the painting. Some people are holding onto the ribbons to get to opportunity, while another is pushing a cart in the darkness, or holding their breath as they sit at a desk after being downsized.
The Rainbow Ribbons represent hope. They are different colors leading to different things that help individuals climb out of poverty to opportunity. Each ribbon represents a social program to help regain one's balance in life.
The first ribbon is purple and represents programs that help individuals get a college education to support families, learn a trade, or build a career with one's talents.
The symbols I used for the ribbons are college, housing, food stamps, medical, disability, job training. Painted 1998. Some of these ribbons might have been strengthened or weakened. The Hubble has been turned around and pointed back towards the Earth.
