I did four images of women titled Joseph's Tunic I, II, III and IV, getting inspiration from the "coat of many colors", but implementing multiple designs found on fabric. For this show all the images were framed together, but they can stand alone. I plan to carry these images further and print them on colorful backgrounds incorporating the "many colors". This show was at the Karpeles Manuscript Library and Museum sponsored by JCAAA (Jacksonville Consortium of African American Artists) for the month of April.
