Before the Dust Hits, 6" x 6"From the Clothesline Set in my Life in the 30s series, this piece provides a slightly whimsical take on an otherwise ordinary task during a difficult decade.

Acrylic paints and vintage documents are layered above and below a vintage image from the 30s to lend an aesthetic yet historical perspective to this
