Artist statement-joe-deborahs class

My quilt square topic is Robert E. Lee. it shows 3 silhouettes. the one in front is Lee. the other two are plantation owners. Lee is holding marionets that specific soldiers from the war. This represents how highly Lee was ranked and how well he controlled the men under him.  there are crosses coming from the smaller silhouettes. these represent the deaths that each man was responsible for during his time in the civil war. the crosses and smaller silhouettes are bleeding to emphesize the darkness of war and how lives and deaths are very important.
