The beret is very rarely worn, but she uses it in her art a lot recently.
It is always hard knowing what is meant to be the art. At first, I was just showing the top photo with the beret. I edited to add the bottom photo. The more I thought about it, the more I thought that the little scrubby dude was there intentionally. Why? This table is usually littered with a few magazines, a coloring book or two, maybe one or more of those annoying advertising cards that Mom tears out of magazines. You know, Mom's stuff. But here it is completely cleared off except for these matching items. Now I'm thinking she was using the whole white table as her canvas.

I love when you post your mom's art! Thank you!
The second photo of your Mom's art is really great! I am so glad you are seeing, understanding and photographing her instalations- A book of all would be wonderful, eventually...
LOVE
Quietly dramatic. It's lovely and I just love the possibility of symbolism.
I am thinking as a true artist she just does what feels good. A lesson to us all.
I think that your mother is really free, in certain aspects, because she envisions something and just does it. What a neat gift to happen on these treasures!
i always love to see your moms creations!
