COVER ART — “Gloves with Pink Stripes” by Mary Sinner
I’m fascinated by cultural symbols that migrate from “high” to “low” cultures and back again. Cultural understanding is constantly mobile in relation to “stuff” viewed through a postmodern lens. Depending on the context, the subject can morph into a myriad of people, places, or things. @marysinnerart | marysinnerfineart.com
