Strange Figurations 2020 Archival pigmented print 14� x 11� I created this surrealistic photomontage in reference to the political turmoil we are experiencing in the USA, during the epic worldwide Covid-19 Pandemic. The clown is carrying the heavy burden of a declining Civilization. The figure is standing on rising waters holding a broom. He is using war to sweep up the mess, but it creates an even bigger mess. Our crumbling
Democracy is reminiscent of the fall of the Roman Empire. The tone of 2020 is one of great sadness as the world succumbs to disease, war, and the Climate Crisis.
