Above: Soldier (Purple Mountain Preoccupation)
Collage 21x23 1/2” Amy Kincaid

I made this collage a few years ago, musing about the soldiers I imagined had enlisted at a time when the world felt less terrifying. Theirs was far from my own experience, and I felt tender and mystified about these young adults who seemed to be in a situation beyond them—a situation that must have been disorienting, disappointing, dangerous, and decidedly unAmerican.

This woman soldier is "over there" reflecting on the promise of purple mountain majesty versus the harsh reality of how America intends to fulfill but continues to break this promise, both at home and far away.

Happy Valentine's Day

The Inspiration and Mission of Mona and Valentine Davies:

"The idea of The Culture Shop was borne in 1998 from love of art and anthropology; close contact with an extensive collection of international treasures found within the Smithsonian Museums; and ultimately, an appreciation for the richly diverse and welcoming community of Historic Takoma - which borders both Maryland and Washington, DC. The owners had a vision of one day introducing the artistic beauty of our global community to a sophisticated and yearning audience. This passion has grown into The Culture Shop."
