2021-2022 WORK

This series was inspired by my experiences, thoughts, and observations during 2021, influenced in large part by life during COVID. I chose to create works mostly in black and white to reflect the idea of solitude as well as the experiences we have looking back at old photographs from our past.

JANUARY 6, 2021

Angered by the events of January 6, 2021, I tried to find a way to express my horror at what happened. I decided to base this painting on the famous one of the American flag by Jasper Johns to show how the rioters tried to undermine the democratic values of the U.S.

The words I included in this painting are: racist, hypocrite, homophobic, greedy, misogynist, fanatic, xenophobic, extremist, anti-Semitic, fundamentalist, uncaring, right wing. narrow minded, violent, corrupt, close minded, and disgraceful.
