State Fair

A photograph of seed art piece for the Minnesota State Fair, styled after Picasso's Guernica. Multiple cubist figures are seen including one, a bearded man holding a cell phone lying on the ground. To the right of the piece an anguished figure throws her hands up holding a sign reading "ICE OUT". A loon, its wings spread, dominates the left side of the work.

Work by Jennifer Nelson.

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
