I have had a recent exhibition with artist, Jung A. Woo, at Cara y Cabezas Contemporary, I Am An American!
We are exploring the cacophonous nature of democracy and Jung A’s work engages the sense of immigration/global migration in the American landscape.
Here are a couple of images of my piece, Untitled (flag) . It is made of thousands of thorns from the honey locust tree
and is approximately 7′ x 12′. While I was influenced by the contentious political environment during the 2012 election, others have referenced painful
aspects of American history, and still other viewers have regarded the piece as a comment on the infusion of religion into political life.
