Making a Workers Mural - Celebrating Saskatchewan By Doug Taylor, Our Times
The end result, after months of work, was a mural that revolved around the theme of work gloves: their purpose and meaning. 'The glove is a symbol of the hand,' says Howie, 'and shows every line and crease of history that has been placed on it or, rather, worked into it. The hand, like the glove, is a map of a person's history, work history, life lived.' The mural includes images of a myriad of tools, from hammers to clothes-pins, and a pattern of Saskatchewan. One gloved fist clenches paintbrushes and a pencil. The gloved hands in the centre of the mural grasps an infinity sign made up of rope, chain, copper piping and hose. The infinity sign symbolizes the never-ending struggle of the labour movement for justice.------------------------------------------- posted 7:14 AM :: reference link ::
