God Bless America
This series is an extension of my previous work, Palos y Piedras, where I continue the dialogue of innocence and violence questioning at what moment does an object become a weapon? Embodying the mutual language of weapons, depicted by the use of found objects and embossed texts, and how this concept transcends through age, social status, ethnicity, religion and time.
Each object will be used to elaborate a unique drawing created by the use multiple techniques; graphite wash partially overlaid with cross hatching. The text that is embossed over the drawings will derive from slogans found on gun magazine ads from the 1950's through current editions. Through appropriation of these slogans, I hope to create a unique connection between the wooden stick or stone, the phrase, and the viewer.
This series is partially funded by Artist Foundation of San Antonio and Linda Pace Foundation.
