State of America Collage

I have always been a great admirer of Jasper Johns' contribution to the art world, most notably his depiction of the American Flag. In 2013, on a flight to California, this idea came to me after much media attention concerning the Second Amendment and Federal vs States issue of power over firearms. During this time, I was commissioned for a few different flags of similar materials and media, but this is the one I've held onto. The materials for this piece are quite significant: Reclaimed wood, used bullet casings, encaustic (my nod to Jasper Johns), various paints, including enamel, spray paint, oil, ink. Having grown up to have a healthy respect for guns, a shotgun was used in the lower right corner. This piece has been on display several places around Nashville, TN. Each getting various responses from different viewers. I would like to see this original "State of America" find its place on the wall of passionate art collector. I would be willing to do a limited edition prints, if there is interest. Thank you, ♡ nikia. Live•In•Color
