In this powerful, massive, painted textile, a group of African American women are laying roots and fostering growth during the World War II era. The central figure evokes the spirit of Rosie the Riveter and reminds viewers that Black women also rolled up their sleeves and held down industry during this time. These women, are focused, capable, strong.
The use of quilted imagery is intentional as it symbolizes a familiar cultural resourcefulness and storytelling.
