ATLANTIS

ATLANTIS was a body of work that progressed during the reign of the Bush administration from 
2001 - 2008.  I worked with a variety of media, drawing, sculpture, sound and video and compiled into several installations and performances over the years.


ATLANTIS is a protest of the erosion of the US Constitution, which was formed as a safeguard against tyranny by the Government.

ATLANTIS deconstructs American Flags and reconstructs them into art objects and not willingly destroyed or desecrated for that purpose.

ATLANTIS draws attention to the pitfalls of the globalization, the instability of the international markets and corrupt financial institutions.

ATLANTIS combines ubiquitous and mundane materials such as ‘Made in China’ labels, plastic toys and USD One-Dollar Bills with the intensely symbolic American flag. The subsequent re-presentation is a timely commentary on national self-image and its inherent fragility.
