Description

Amina Simeon (Jacmel, Haiti, 1959 – 2000)
Seed and bugle beads on fabric
(21” x 20 1/2”), c.1998
Currently mounted flat on 23″ x 23″ board.
Ex. collection of Nancy Josephson.

This flag is extremely densely beaded (and thus extremely heavy), in the manner of the artist Constant and others.

A very similar flag by Simeon is published in Spirits in Sequins:  Vodu Flags of Haiti, p. 158.
