Persama & Medusin: In Persama and Medusin, I am using art as a means towards political satire. I have always had a fascination with mythology from around the world. This project is a revisionist tale of the Greek hero, Perseus, who slays the monster Medusa. The story acts as a tongue-in-cheek metaphor about the most recent American presidential election with Barack Obama as Perseus and Sarah Palin as Medusa. Most of the other characters were deliberate choices, such as Dick Cheney as a stinky sea monster, while some were arbitrary, like Billie Jean King as Medusa’s bereaved sister. Nonetheless, the end message is a serious statement of hope for Obama’s adminstration. In terms of being a printmaker, there is a long history of social protest art with artists such as George Grosz. This specific project is a contemporary follow-up on these precedents. Limited edition copies are available for $18 or 15 Euros, which includes shipping.
