Artist Statement-North vs South Economy-Madeleine



Artist Statement

Title: Divided Economy
Year: 201

This quilt piece is of the economy with two sides. One side represents the North the other the South and on each side is the states that represented that side. I put the states into the picture because I though it helped to show what areas and places things ran through and what side was being shown. The picture help give an idea of the cotton fields and the railroads so we see how much it had changed. The picture of the house is to show how fancy and time worthy houses were and that is showed in the pictures. This quilt piece relates to history because when the Civil War was going on both sides separated leaving both sides with there own ways of doing things and I think this helps to show how different the sides where and how they where the same.
