American Experiment

A set of four paintings deconstruct the American Pledge of Allegiance into meditations on phrases commonly said but seldom thought through in a modern context.

Other works invite consideration that what we believe to be “true” may be incomplete and lacking nuance, as well as offering moments to slow down and determine for oneself how one truly thinks and feels about living in America today.
