ROSES & THORNS, BY Judith Rubenstein
In past years, I have asked homeless people to draw in Searching for Home, long accordion books that I constructed. These days, more of us are in trouble besides the
obvious street homeless. Therefore, I am inviting a wider range of New Yorkers to artistically and poetically depict, in similar accordion books, this time titled Roses &
Thorns, what's going on in our country.
Please contact me & I'll meet you with empty pages & art materials.
