Feb 15, 2018 I headed into my studio furious with having to deal with another school shooting, and the atmosphere it brings..the fear, the uncertainty, the frustration,despair, the normalization of tragedy and the visualization of a lack of control or empathy by those in power. Thus began a series I call “Triggered” Everyday I painted the word “problem” and covered the word up with AR-15 style weapons….piling up the images until the word “Problem” is no longer visible, just as the rhetoric about gun owner ship hides the abhorrent shootings, everyday a shift in the conversation away from the tragedy, till it’s all about the guns, and nothing was changed, just harder to see the problem. This is the first piece in the series.
