CURATORIAL STATEMENT
most of the work in BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE has been made during the last few months of rising tensions of an unjust war, alienation most generations suffer from our nation's ethical, moral and political polarity, a collective fear of our world's fate and a general distrust of the electoral process. although much of the work doesn't necessarily comment on these issues directly, they do have one thing in common: democracy. printmaking, making multiples, producing art that can get into the hands of the people with the grace and enlightenment that the first printing press achieved is a testimony to possibly
the most democratic and sovereign form of art.
