AMERICAN MYTH (2020)

American Myth is a series of 20 ink block prints in 2020 examining the circular influence of education, access to information, and social mobility. I meld infographics with mid-century imagery to create visual narratives exploring America’s past and our future. I consider how increasing investment in the public commons – schools, libraries and public media - would strengthen societies by increasing empathy, equitable opportunities, and community conversations. My goal is to show how the transfer of knowledge can revitalize democracy and social consciousness.
