Unknown Activist
Unknown Activist. Spray paint and collage on foam core.
I enjoy spray painting landscapes to enter. And I like placing people in them. The woman is an image taken from an vintage organic farming catalogue.
Minimalism move me the most.

A short statement of the proposed artwork's relationship to the theme of "Venus Rising, A Celebration of Women (150-500 words).
Unknown Activist: A woman, embattled against predatory forces, determined to have her voice heard through the deliberate maelstrom of malicious corporate noise. The collage is of a famous agricultural activist from the 197's who spoke out against mono-cropping and genetically modified food. The sky she is set against reveals a sense of impending doom, the course that is set by industry funding, cherry picked facts to support proof over humanity. A raging maelstrom of misinformation blown by the ill winds of would be corporate god-hood. Her name has been lost, her voice buried by an overwhelming flood of titalating sound bites designed to bury while pretending to fertilize. A s a female organic farm worker, I celebrate her vitality and message. Lost but determined, exploited, undermined, and angry- We will shout with all our rage, our knowledge, and our power, until our song is heard.
