Kentucky Trifecta by Handmade Hope Rags

Kentucky Trifecta by Handmade Hope Rags Jeff & Joanne Couch: Archaeologists, Artists, Fine Art Curators. Certified Kentucky Proud products.

Artists Statement:
“As Transdisciplinary Artist and Archaeologists we tell The Story by hand-crafting each artwork with the precision of a trained scientist; we imbue each piece with the empirical aesthetics of Artists who are passionate about Unity in cultures, prehistory, history and the perpetuity of lineage and heritage; as business professionals with each over 20 years as a Directors, and Ad

ministrators in the Cultural Resource Management, and Environmental Engineering & Construction industries: we are ones who understand that in order for implements of cultural imperatives to survive it must have an expressed utilitarian need which can bolster the profane and mundane into the sacred by imagery, ritual, heritage, and legacy. Hence, we elevate common household decor and regalia apparel as our artistic medium. In short, we create Handmade Family Heirlooms imbued with the sweetness of enduring nostalgic charm with a modern touch of Industrialism, and a whimsy cheeky touch of Dadaism to juxtapose contrasting elements which often invoke an inquisitive internal dialog in the art patron and that is what we feel promotes the foundations of good science and the desire for honest profundity. This, sincerely, is our "art-making process": it is our hearts and passions cultivated by our discerning minds which propels us to be conduits of culture: Artists.”
~ Love, Peace and Harmony ~
