Two days each week Ann Morton sits in a chair knitting between three American flags that hang in the lower level of Phoenix Art Museum.
A trace of daylight streams through a single window in the room with only the sound of footsteps echoing off the concrete gallery floor.
For months she’s sat there, armed with two knitting needles and pieces of red and blue thread, creating her latest social statement. Thousands of handmade red and blue squares hang behind her blending together as one.
Morton, who was 35 years into her previous career before she focused on art full-time, likes to create projects that bring people together and make a larger statement. Her latest project, The Violet Protest opened at Phoenix Art Museum earlier this year.
