A continued tension, however, is visible along the lower edge
of many
of the
works, as the
paper seemingly struggles to
curl further, revealing a strain
on the tabs used to mount it to the backing.
When taken together, the
works stridently emphasize the
paper itself as object (as it is
curled, crumpled and distressed, floating
on a field
of white gessoed canvas) as much as the implicit condition
of easy dissemination and reproducibility critical to propaganda and the explicit message
of class and power contained in the imagery.
