Oklahoma City artist Marilyn Artus was all set to see her cross-country collaborative "Her Flag" project make its Washington, D.C., debut during this week's presidential inauguration.
A self-described "suffrage nerd," Marilyn Artus wanted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of American women earning the right to vote in a big way.
So, the Oklahoma City artist created a plan out of whole cloth — 18 feet by 26 feet and 25 pounds of it — and after three years of sewing, pivoting and streaming, those plans are unfurling right on time.
And across the exterior of a presidential library.
