Commemorating America's 250th, Summer 2026.
The compositions employ an intentional flag-like structure that functions as a visual lure; from a distance, it is perceived as an iconic symbol, but as the viewer approaches, the grid and textural intricacies reveal the underlying data and "construct" system. This design underscores the project’s core tension, exploring the disparity between American ideals—"the word"—and the lived reality of the nation. By utilizing materials like a cheesecloth ground, the work allows the adjacency of colors and textures to influence the final expression, ensuring that the constructs remain emergent and organic rather than predetermined.
