About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Libby Ramage presents an image of two human figures and an insect. She paints the glove crimson and attaches beads and pages of a book for a revolutionary flair. "This piece was inspired by a wasp that uses false gifts to attract its mate," shares Libby. The rough texture of the handmade paper emphasizes the emotional nature of the human quest for love.
