I've started embroidery and all, but as I've been thinking the past few days, I've been trying to find a way to relate this visually back to issues in the U.S. And of course the best examples of violence as a result of social division and ethnic prejudice would be the Baltimore riots and the riots in Ferguson. Both cases got a lot of media and political attention, so they are perfect options for this aspect of my work. I've gotten a few images of the riot aftermath from media coverage and I'm considering rendering parts of these buildings on the backs of the jeleks since they will face the prints. In this way, they will act as a "mirror." Here are some of the images I found.
Its the beginning of an idea to help my concept. I'm also continuing work on the prints. Here are some transfers in process for the television part.
I'll also be preparing my zinc etching plates tonight so I can begin the etching process.
