I made a trumpet to represent my two resilint people for our Resilience Cafe project and I will soon get a picture of it, but for now here is the art statement:
Jazz and Determination
My art piece represents the resilience of my mom, Peggy Newhouse, and Dizzy Gillespie, a famous jazz musician. The canvas used is a piece of wood cut out to be Gillespie’s signature trumpet. The reason it is tilted up is that one day, Dizzy left it lying on a chair, someone sat on it, and it bent. He blew in the horn, enjoyed the sound of it, and from then on, he had all of his trumpets custom made to be bent like this. The pictures on the quarter notes are that of my mom and of Dizzy Gillespie himself. Both her and Dizzy used their determination to accomplish their goals and become successful individuals.
