51. Green New Deal
November 2020

I finally saw the Vida Americana show at the Whitney on November 7th, the Saturday afternoon the New York Times finally declared Joe Biden's victory after a very anxious election. The show had opened before Covid struck and had become so much more prescient since. The murals' optimism about industry felt hard to connect to the present though, and made me curious what the contemporary version of the theme would look like. This scarf features a hand applied resist technique and pictures a solar panel installation team.
