My 3rd Quarter Artist Statement

In art class, we made a bunch of different pieces of art. We made wire sculptures, observational drawings, portraits, geometric patterns and fabric collages. One piece of art that I was particularly proud of was my fabric collage. I am in the medicine guild, so my felt was related to medicine. It was of a table full of different potions. In guilds, I’m a wise women. I sell love potions and different little objects that do different deeds such as keeping evil away. In the fabric picture, my hands are reaching down to grab a jar of leeches.

My name is Margaret and I'm part of the refugee social justice group. Only 1% of refugees are resettled, and the rest of them must either stay in danger or leave illegally. Even those who are resettled face homelessness, poverty, and many other issues a lot of us are lucky to not have to face. Our government has lowered the amount of refugees we let in by 50%, and until we make our voices heard.
