Unlike previous political works of mine which approach their subject obliquely or as farce (see I AM NOT A LIAR, below), these new pictures are dark and direct. I wanted to convey my dread at the cancerous state of affairs in our country, the anger and frustration and despair that hang over us like a toxic cloud.

Dismayed and disgusted by recent events I made these collages as a representation of my disillusionment, using Washington, the most iconic of our presidents as an embodiment of my feelings.

I am leery of heroes and wary of the collective acceptance of a national narrative, but I don’t hate Washington. Or America. I remain hopeful, by George!
