'Hierro y Lana' (Iron and Wool) is a collaborative artwork by Udo Wolfgang and Gabriella Brushella. Printed on fine art cotton rag, glazed with museum quality Art Glass, and printed with archival pigment. In Frida's original masterpiece, 'Self-Portrait with Braid', (1941), the tightly wound woolen headpiece heavily mirrors the traditional crowns worn by Mexican nuns when taking vows to become the "bride of Christ". This choice reflects Kahlo's tendency to utilize religious and sacrificial iconography to portray her own devotion and suffering. Additionally, mixing vibrant wool and yarn into braids was a traditional custom of the indigenous Tehuana women of Oaxaca. The year 1941 was also marked by deep tragedy for Kahlo. Her beloved father, Guillermo Kahlo, passed away. The somber, dark quality of the woolen braid and her direct, unsmiling gaze also act as a symbol of mourning and emotional isolation during a time of immense grief. The additional image shows an earlier version of the artwork. It's included here to show a small part of the artists journey in working towards the end result. The earlier version, originally intended to be an edition of five, will likely be of interest to collectors as it will now be a one off; a solitary original within our world.
