Five artists' take on flags and flag-like motifs
Jennie Carr, Keisha Rollins, Roxy Savage, Mark Savoia, Rita Valley
“EATING FLAG” imagery is my artist's response to reclaiming the American flag through a domestic feminist lens.
The digital prints displayed in Flag Bearers are part of the EATINGFLAG series.
My process begins in the kitchen, where I make flag-shaped Jell-O* molds. These molds are photographed, digitally rendered, and generated using Adobe software, then printed on a Canon Pro 1000 printer. The series explores the entangled and layered meanings of flags, female identity, and gelatin, inviting engagement and social discourse.
