Artist: Dasha Medvedeva
About The Design: Artist Statement
I knew I wanted to incorporate roots somewhere because just like roots hold everything together, especially so much of our landscape in Washington so do women in the home & their communities, especially in immigrant & multi-generational households. It's a big job that is critical that often goes unnoticed, unseen or just dismissed-I myself as an angsty tween didn't understand why my mom "didn't want to work" and only in my late 20s I am starting to comprehend how much women do to hold everything & everyone together.
My worry is having a straight-up illustrated tree-I don't know what we have for green night, but I don't want there to be two nights with trees or too much greenery. I am sure I will work that out. At first, I wanted to stray away from pink-but now I think I should add as many pink elements as I want. Pink is awesome, and if you're a straight-up girly girl who loves pink, there is power in embracing that, and if you're a guy who likes pink, even better :)
