It's All Stars and Stripes When the Circus Comes to Town Collage

About The Artwork

This part of a body of work produced in America about America. It is a re-imagined flag complete with stars and stripes in a political environment that is akin to some sort of bizarre carnival. It is a banner and a flag; something you would see in a parade. The delicacy and strength of hand painted silk layered upon linen, gesso, spray paint and strips of discarded clothing creates a unique history- one that allows for more than the standard red, white and blue. This flag is made in an intuitive way-it is fluid. Its colors vary from royal blue to red to pink, white and yellow. There is a sense of child-like light heartedness, but also naivete. My intention was to strike a feeling of spectical, of a circus- something of an alternate reality out of control.
