On January 6, 2021 a mob of insurrectionists invaded our Capitol. Ironically they waved American flags and called themselves “patriots” as they assaulted and defiled The Capitol Building, the sacred icon of our democracy. They claimed they were honoring our Constitution, a document they paid lip service to while ignoring its instructions on peaceful transference of power; their violent uprising – the first of its kind in our history - was in support for a would-be demagogue. We have clearly reached an historical pivot point. We again need to answer the question Abraham Lincoln put to us: Can a Republic founded on the proposition of self governance long endure or shall it perish from the earth?
Medium: All figures including the eagle are handmade wood carvings. 10 hand carved & painted wood men. 1 hand carved & painted wood eagle. 1 old wood puppet. Old birdcage remade into the US Capitol. Antique wrought iron church candle holder used as a stand. Old flag on top. Dimension with stand – 60”x 16”x 14”
