2nd Day of Christmas: "Rejected" and "Discarded" by Ash Robinson

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest @DisneyBritton

Holydays, like holidays can be as meaningful or meaningless as the participants desire and meaning resonates with me, especially at Christmas. On this 2nd Day of Christmas, my reflection is on gifts we purchased from Indianapolis artist, Ash Robinson. She is one of only the 2014 Robert E. Beckmann Emerging Artist Fellows, and is interested in "art-for-good" that empowers women and African American neighborhoods. "These neighborhoods feel that they have been abandoned or "REJECTED" and "DISCARDED" by society," said Ash about the inspiration for these works. I purchased the two pieces for my two Moms: Birth-Mom and Step-Mom, two strong women who have spent their lives improving the lives of those who feel rejected or discarded.
