As Easy As Love, features the phrase "a great torment should be as easy as love", an excerpt from the book of poetry I co-authored with my husband during the pandemic, Sleep Walking With Peggy Noonan. This excerpt expresses the sentiment of love over war, that even our most difficult torments can be solved with love at the forefront. The yearning and urge for love and the ease it brings, like in Lysistrata, can break the impulse of violence for even the most stubborn advocates for war. The women in the images are draped in garments from my collection Pieces Of Me (2016). This collection was about the multitude of our identities shared between ourselves and our community and over time through our ancestors. The fabrics used were salvaged from garments from my matriarchs to remind myself and the wearer that we are borne from a long line of women and the spiritual richness of that lineage compounds. This new work, inspired by the soft fineries of the women in the play, is printed on silk and embellished with gold embroidery, small pearls, and tiny sequins.
