"Glitch History and the American Icon"  series, screen prints on paper, 2016-2019 

2019- Glitch History and the American Icon, screenprint series 
Using Gestalt Theory, assuming the viewer first analyzes the whole and then dissects the pieces, I trap the viewer with harmonious compositions and seductive plays of candy-coated color. The overlapping screen printed drawings create texture, variety, unity, and balance. These abstract color-fields promote meditative contemplation and raise sensory awareness while the imagery unfolds into a narrative. 
This work was a reaction to the ongoing Trump-era immigration policies in America, a worldwide anti-sexual harassment movement (#MeToo), and mass misinformation in social media and the news. The icons in this series are intended to be interpreted by the viewer allowing self-reflection and ideological understanding. Each composition is a unique combination of these icons: 
● The Suited Woman/ Goddess /Victim or Survivor/ Feminism/ #MeToo
● The Native American/ American Heritage
● The Children / Future/ Dreamers 
● The Cowboy/ God /Oppressor 
● The Static Bar/ The Computer Glitches/Misinformation 
The combination of the images along with cultural subcontext build conceptual narrative. In combination with the aesthetic quality of the work, they encourage contemplation and self-awareness. This series was on display as a solo exhibition at Page Bond Gallery in Richmond Virginia. I was able to discuss the work during a public artist lecture. The modern gallery setting provided an ideal space for the work to be seen and provoke meditative thought, self-reflection, and dialog.
