"Shrimp/Arab Media"
Mixed Media on Canvas
20" x 16"
I use my old photograph of 60's supermodel, Jean Shrimpton,
as a cultural icon today, combined with a Middle Eastern man.
I am trying to show that he will resort to the extreme of "ethnic cleansing,"
to battle against our society of "non-believers".
We swear by super-models, super-thin, super-big, and super-rich.
We are in a culture war.

the Media tells us is absolute excellence.

Mixed Media on Canvas 48" x 36" The sights and sounds we are exposed to every day in our society, cause difficulty in discerning right from wrong. How do we make the right choices?

Mixed Media on Tile 12" x 12" In a society of drugs, sex, and greed, the reality-check of religion is a helpful rule to live by. The Pope personifies much that is good. However, the Church is big business and can be ruthless, as well. Our culture is filled with similar contradictions, which makes it difficult for us to find our way.

Mixed Media on Canvas 24" x 24" We are constantly being told what is beautiful, how thin to be, how to dress, what to buy, and what to like.

Do we long to break free of these decrees and make our own guidelines? It will take inner understanding of the human spirit. Artes print, $5000. |
