RACE*SEX*POLITICS*RELIGION 2012
The response to being asked to be in this exhibition was to include works that the artist had previously investigated on each of the subjects: sex, race, politics, and religion. The post-porn sexual image is overt in content but hardly erotic, the Hispanic worker dreams, the aerial bombing map of Afghanistan is aesthetically pleasing, and Jesus declares, “I am a socialist.”
