This small series of four works is inspired by the one and only book from which I constructed the pieces from. It was a book of lectures by a minister. Someone had written in the book notes based on the sermons by the author and theologian. I have found no one yet who can decipher the notes entirely, adding to the mystique. I like the richness of the colors, the aged and stained pages which evoke a strong sense of history.

The night before I was leaving the family home upon selling it, I was cleaning under the kitchen cabinets. I discovered a shelf liner made from old linoleum. I was taken by finding it because I remembered it from my childhood. I remembered as a small boy hiding in the cabinet playing hide and seek from my brothers.

I took it with me, giving it a rebirth.

Faux gold leaf, plastic alphabet letters

President Donald J. Trump uses certain words over and over again. His words are overstated, exaggerated and contemptuous. His constant use of these words begin to all run together into meaningless gibberish. This piece illustrates the talk Trump uses while trying to look genuine. The superficiality of the children’s plastic letters connotates childish behavior.

Faux gold leaf, plastic alphabet letters

This piece examines contradictories representing the behavior of President Donald J. Trump, specifically, truth versus falsehoods. At first glance the background appears to represent sophistication, but in reality is false in its true material makeup (false gold). The words are those of a fractious, pretentious, unruly child literally made of children's plastic toys.
