I created this for a contest commemorating Viola Desmond’s experience with racial unjustice. I did not have to purchase any letters for this Upcycling project, they all came from my studio collection. The jewellery on this piece was also from my past 2nd hand store finds. At the posting of this, the results of the contest are not yet out. (If you like this painting, please go and vote here http://lp.macgillivraylaw.com/protestart/?contest-search=Dorothea%20LeBlanc)
