ARTIST BOOKS
Inspired by real historical events and fabricated myths, my Artist’s Book series intends to explore and re-interpret some of the greatest and most celebrated moments in American History. I have often been intrigued by the comically misleading and inaccurate accounts of history common to most textbooks, where ethnocentric perspectives read like ranting narrations of American exceptionalism. I have also been fascinated by the fact that history, once manipulated by the machine of propaganda, is more akin to folktales than real historical events. This inspired me to create my own library of counterfeit and hand painted History Books in an effort to submit my own voice into the ever-expanding campaign of misinformation already entrenched in Western rhetoric.
