The American Flag is a quintessential symbol of our freedom, and the brave men and women that pioneered before us, and ahead of us, to fight for a land of the free. My rendition of the flag is “perfectly imperfect,” which reminds us of that insightful phrase from the Constitution: “more perfect.”In art, as in so many things (faith, home, family, work, community, citizenship): process is everything, and there is no finish line called “perfect.” It would be impossible to define what perfection would even look like… especially if you asked more than one person! But to leave something more beautifulmore lovely, more just, more excellent, more fair, more honoring, more loving, more cared foras a result of our having participated and invested in it: that’s a really worthy goal. Will it be perfect? Never. But it will be more perfect.
