The Coat of Hope, 2019

Nancy started this project in 2016 after the presidential elections when she was feeling shocked and fearful. She decided she needed an infusion of hope, so initiated this project asking people across the US what they were hopeful about. Hundreds of statements of hope were written by people of all ages onto the white strips. The coat’s base and the strips were made from the same plastic sheeting used to make Bella.
