Description

A medium-sized, vertically oriented, colorful print of various phrases and symbols handwritten and stamped by the artist.

Context

An iconoclastic appropriation of tropes that define the inconsistencies of American history culture. Further images suggest institutional exclusion and segregation operating both in past and present beside the individual freedoms granted in our Bill of Rights. Thematically, this discomforting history, reinforced by references to structures that further divide class, race and power, are offered in a disparate composition to point out the long, vulgar and omnipresent war between capitalism and morality.
