Artist Statement: "This 360, double-sided, FPP, Quilt of DC Lamphere's "Dignity" Statue, is a tribute to the fortitude of Indigenous Peoples of this land. "Dignity" stands as a sentinel, urging us with outstretched hands, wrapped in the powerful symbolism of a lone star quilt, to engage with each other and the world around us with respect, unity and honor. "Dignity" stands as a reminder of our responsibility to each other and to the land we call home."
