Donna Sharrett
Bud 620, Pink, Ivory, Blue, Silver Peace Signs 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, and is framed in a square 10 x 10 inch light natural wood float frame (4 x 4 inches unframed). Round rhinestone beads surrounded by baguette beads and marquise beads atop a swatch of blue denim fabric at the center are encircled by a pale pink fabric with pink stitching and silver peace sign shaped beads. An ivory and white fabric is stitched into strips around the edge of the mandala with little circular metal beads on the tips of the points. 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 needle lace."
