Donna Sharrett
Bud 527, Peach, Ivory Black and White Gold Pearls, Mixed Media Textile Mandala

2019

About the Item

This mixed media mandala by Donna Sharrett contains guitar string ball-ends, clothing, needlework, jewelry, and thread. Glittering gold faceted beads at the center are outlined with a circle of pearls in ivory and gold surrounded by pale peach fabric and light golden orange threading. A checkered black and white fabric is stitched into points around the edge of the mandala with little silver metal beads on the tips of the points. Framed in a square 10 x 10 inch light natural wood float frame, 4.5 x 4 inches unframed. As Sharrett's statement asserts, "I have become a custodian of memories; my works, repositories for keepsakes. Handmade doll’s clothes, jewelry, buttons; worn bedspreads, clothing, tablecloths & napkins – were given to me by those who wished to have their personal treasures included in my work. Yard sales & consignment shops yielded evocative objects now out of fashion or in disrepair. These gifts & discoveries join the repertoire of symbolically significant materials which have informed my work – rose petals, dirt & hair. Guitar-strings are used as a dedication to my brother Scot Sharrett, as are the song titles chosen to name the works. A variety of needlework techniques are used, including crochet, embroidery and needlelace."
