Audrey & Grace-North and South Geography- Michaels Office

Artist statement: The piece of art shown here represents the geography between the north and the south during the pre civil war. This is showing that though the two lands are both completely seperate each of them rely on one another. The south grew cotton which was sold to the north who made it into fabric and clothes then sold it back to the south, both of them working together to live their lives. We have represented this message through ying and yang, both the the complete opposite yet connected in one way or another. This predicament is happening everywhere in the world today but we have learned from our mistakes and improved upon them. this quilt piece is presenting both of the landscapes of the north and south. The north has very little flatlands and a lot of mountains. Not the ideal place for farming. While the south on the other hand has pretty much only flatlands, a few hills, small towns, and large houses. Each land is connected but was torn apart by opinion.
