Ikebana, 2008 Ross is, like Dream of Mary Shelley, a meditation on a female creator figure, here, a woman who stitched rather than wrote her way to fame. This would-be flag is, like the real American flag, oblong, but turned on its side, just as dreams serve to upset our usual perception of things. The red stripes, blue ground and white stars of the flag have been fractured into a patchwork of small strips. Betsy Ross could be aptly subtitled Dream of Jasper Johns, for, like Johns��� flags, this one is of encaustic on board. Kline is therefore looking to both a female and male progenitor of his own artistic work. ���Typically, we humans��� states Kline, ���attempt to reshape, control or altogether ignore nature. But she constantly reminds us she is pervasively and ever-powerfully there, both in force and subtlety.��� To make his point Kline employs a wide range of visual language from tribal, folkloric, industrial, architectural, objective, historic, literary and scientific sources.
