Words Woven Walking Waukegan!

️ Words Woven Walking Waukegan

Acrylic, Ink & Collage on Canvas, 8x10, 2025

Part of the Voices in Protest series

 

Built from the actual sticky notes submitted by viewers of Pay This Some Mind!, this piece becomes a chorus of voices layered over a gray urban backdrop. Floating post-it signs, each handwritten by someone who stood before the painting, capture the immediacy and intimacy of lived convictions — “No Human Is Illegal,” “We the People,” “Hands Off Veterans’ Care.”

 

Silhouetted figures march below, faceless but unified. The messages they carry—yours—create the color, rhythm, and purpose of the scene. This piece wouldn't exist without the community, and now it speaks for them.

 

️ View this alongside the other works in the series—Before the Noise and Pay This Some Mind!—to experience the emotional spectrum of protest, from hidden fear to collective expression.
