Holstad's technique destabilizes our experience of media
imagery,
transforming everyday pictures into insightful and highly personal commentaries which are at times somber, at times celebratory.
The images themselves became a form of found object — Rauschenberg used pictures clipped from newspapers, showing scenes both iconic and quotidian, and
transformed them in his prints, while Johns made
everyday imagery, like the United States flag or a target, the focal point of his work.
