Description

Sequins and beads on fabric, with cotton fill for relief areas, stretched on frame (24 1/4″ x 17 1/2”), c.2000.  
Ex collection of Nancy Josephson.
This flag is published in the book Spirits in Sequins by Nancy Josephson, p. 126.  “The chromolithograph of Saint Gerard is used to depict the Vodou spirit Baron, one of the Guede family.  The small cuts made into the back of the doubled fabric get cotton stuffing, which makes the top of the flag not only 3-D but also very heavy.”
