What at first can look
like mass media appropriation, as in the work of rock star - worshipping artist Richard Prince — who showed a nose cone plastered with images of the band Kiss last summer in East Hampton as well as pictures of Sid Vicious over Jackson Pollock's photo at his show at Guild Hall — Joester's work has more in common with Montauk's Peter Beard, who takes his own photos of endangered African
wildlife and uses them as the basis for multi-media collage using mud, blood, feathers and
paint.
