Shelly Lord (American)
Cabbage, 1987
Silkscreen
UND Art Collections: Art & Design Study Collection

In this silkscreen print by Shelly Lord, a beautiful purple cabbage is featured. This art is unique because, while it resembles cabbage, it also possesses a certain abstractness and does not as literally look like the vegetable, especially when compared to Mary Weaver’s prints, also on display in this space. The colors purple and gold are traditionally associated with royalty, perhaps reminding the viewer of the importance of vegetables in their diets.

Featured in the 2020 exhibition, Food For Thought, at the Empire Arts Center Gallery.
