During the last five years I have been expressing my frustration over our loss of individual rights and the manipulation of the freedom of the press through a series of collages. The faces featured, taken from the news, are themselves icons, a representation of the New Millenniums’ foibles, fables and fears. More important than who these people are, is what they represent and what they hide: what we hear and how we are distracted from the truth. Jorge Amado, in “The War of the Spirits“ sums it up best when he says, ”there was a hidden reality, a secret country that didn’t get into the news…No criticism was permitted: censorship, corruption and violence were the tools of the government.” File List The Promise (2000) Collage 16” x 20” Tribal Leaders (2000) Collage 16” x 20” Are Butterflies Really Free?
