New Work at Satellite Gallery 2012

This work is about the current state of citizenry and protest culture.  Oppression is a dominate force in our lives. I am opposed to using force or the threat of force to others. 
My work is process oriented. I layer paint. I use joint compound, latex paint, aerosol, markers, paper, and glazes. 
I believe it is possible to make the world a better place.
