America's Social Contract
laser cut watercolor painting on paper, 7 panels painted front & back, 28 x 16 inches each ©2017

America’s Social Contract depicts diverse races of people pulling each other up, very much opposed to individuals pushing each other down. These watercolor paintings are laser cut, transforming them into objects that are made out of the words from the constitution. Both sides of the work are painted. As the viewer to walks around the piece they can always see the person on the “Other” side. As light hits the surface of the paintings a cast shadow of the words from the constitution falls on the viewer, making them one with the constitution.
