Constitution

(2016)

Constitution was composed in the days following the 2016 election of Donald Trump to The White House. The work plays with the word ‘constitution’ as a double entendre that references both the supreme law of the United States and a person’s physical state, both of which have been inalterably impacted by Trump’s presidency.

Using “We”, “The”, and “People” as a constraint for composition, Constitution reimagines its’ sovereign authority as a document as a radical call for action against oppressive regimes and systems of government.

Constitution was included n the online exhibition Hiding in Plain Sight, curated by Ron Benner for the Embassy Cultural House in 2020.
