Beneath the Unraveling Horizon 10
Throughout life, individually and communally, beliefs we once held true are often reveled to be contrary to our original understanding. This series explores this phenomenon as pertaining to nostalgia of an aging dream for future national and personal prosperity in America. As the destructive nature of global colonization becomes more apparent, the difference between America’s role as a purveyor freedom or as a reckless tyrant is becoming progressively ambiguous.
In these works, layers of paper with printed imagery of idealized Americana rip from the center outward from shattered frames. Almost as if exploding, the layers of paper flower from the center, with each ripped image revealing the other behind. The center most layers project furthest away from the piece as if caught in the current wake of time awaiting the next layer to be revealed. This continuous pattern of revelation, mirrors the perpetually altering perspective on America’s global identity and role.
