"Don't Worry Baby" is my contribution for the 2017 "Art on 45." I was intrigued by the wave design of the paper label and decided to make it the theme of my piece. I layered portions of the edges of yellowed book pages to create the water movement and added clippings from various storybooks for sea life and the potential victim. Shading and bubbles are in ink.
I wanted to do something that reflects how I feel regarding the current political situation: There is good reason for all kinds of fear but people would still tell me that it's going to be okay. And sometimes they would add a more or less heartfelt "Believe me!"
