The 2016 Presidential race was just impossible to ignore. Against such a backdrop I created multiple series about the upcoming election, this one is called The MadDness of Trump! (purposely misspelled).
Using mixed media, I produced works fueled by anger, frustration and incredulity about the possibility of a Trump Presidency. At first the pieces were mocking and cartoon-like, reflecting the media’s casual writing-off of the then seemingly impossible candidate.
But as the dynamics of the race and the candidate changed, the series evolved, and the man ceased to be a running joke and instead captured the GOP nomination. With candidates now real, my later pieces reflect the public sentiment of fear and disbelief of his potential presidency, his apparent rise to power and his eventual selection as the 45th President of the United States.
