Art with a Message at The Fashion Institute in NYC

In my own work I seldom, if ever, find inspiration in societal observation or headline news. However, I greatly admire those who can and do employ their art in a meaningful manner as statement with regards to powerful social commentary and in sharing their personal experiences and musings of their own conscious. The recent Faculty Student Show at the Fashion Institute had several moving pieces that I wanted to share.  I hope you find the work and artists' statements as the wonderful examples of the power of art to inspire compassion and understanding that I did!
