Signs, 2018
Corrugated Plastic, 18 x 24”
In the past two years, I've had many conversations about the radical changes people have made in their lives as a result of the 2016 election. I wanted to capture these changes as people voted in the midterm on November 7th, 2018. In order to retain the personal and informal nature of these conversations, I reached out to friends via text message and asked:
"Question for a project: Has your life changed as a result of the 2016 election? If so, can you share the first thing that comes to mind?"
The responses were relatable but also reflected a left-leaning perspective. I wanted to share them in a way that would help people who voted for Trump empathize with how their choices have affected those who did not. By printing these messages using the same materials and visual language as election campaigns, landscaping businesses, and people who buy houses, perhaps people will pay attention and relate to what is being said.
