Description:

Diorama box is completely covered back, top, bottom and sides with newspaper articles regarding what is happening in the news surrounding all issues for LGBTQ+ persons, focus on the positive! Some squares of fabric cover the box as well. The tree and branches are made from newsprint. The leaves are fabric and combine many Pride colors as well as green. The Roots are a mix of multi-colored ones and newsprint...all newsprint is burned using my wood burner tool to give the tree a lifelike look. (A few branches are from my honeysuckle vine.) The quilted background includes the words to Rainbowland. Box has a picture hook on the back and is made to hang.

Dimensions:

Box dims: 13 1/4" ht x 10" wide x 3 3/8" deep. Outer dims of the Root/Tree branches approx: 20" ht x 14 1/2" wide

Artist Statement:

When I heard the theme this year I was immediately inspired to make this box. I love to quilt and I love fiber arts so this was a perfect match for me. Hopefully someone will love this as much as I do. Why do I do this? Because everyone should be accepted and feel loved for who they are.
