The 2016 Presidential race was just impossible to ignore, against such a backdrop I
created a series called The MadDness of Trump using mixed media to produce works
fueled by anger, frustration and incredulity of the possibility of a Trump Presidency. At
first the pieces were mocking and cartoon-like, reflecting the media’s casual write-off of
the then impossible candidate. As the dynamics of the race and the candidates
changed, this series evolved, as this man ceased to be a running joke. The candidate
was real and the newer work reflects the public sentiment of fear of his presidency and
rise to unchecked power.
