Artist statement

Artist statement 1^st draft

(I will have a longer, revised draft up tonight)

“They don’t want communism…” I chose this quote because it relates so much to American ideas leading to war. I stole this quote from The Quiet American, a novel set during the Vietnam War and told the story of forcing democracy on others (along with other ideas).

I wanted to portray this concept of the U.S. forcing democracy and peace by putting the word democracy in the form of a gun. I thought that this would be the simplest way to describe this idea.
