Piece description from the artist
An iconographic historical adaptation, commenting with the use of figures and places that revolve around the conspiracy and demise of JFK. The surface is composed of various media creating a multi-layered expression. The key icons contrast fractured or reassembled foundation with clear Value drawn figures. This work explores the relationship between people and their government and the loss of patronage and origin in the contemporary world.
