View artist portfolioIt is a mixed media conglomeration detailing the disenfranchisement of the poor from an increasingly device worshipping materialistic society whose values are defined through surfaces. As a buddhist I have found that in the world of money and illusion, it is the elite scum who rules while the American dream has been kidnapped by the slave metality of fake hipness. You hardly ever see the poor on Oprah, it is a media where they are made to dissappear as if they don't even exist while the populace becomes fixated on face lifts and cars. This is the magical land of consumerism, a veil of lies and hypocrisy made to keep people from helping each other.

Hi Sandra,
I think your mixed media piece is interesting, but I continually stumble over your comment that "the American dream has been kidnapped by the slave me(n)tality of fake hipness". What exactly do you mean?
Hullo Sandra,
Congratulations! There is one thing though. I know artists always make a big mark by speaking in "tongues", but do u not think that on TIG we could break down some of these ideas that you have put in rather hard words?
Thanks.
Wow, bash to my materialistic values, now im shamed. Very nice work, and a good message. Although I understand what you are trying to say, you should find a nicer way to say. Changing the world in general is difficult and time consuming, and much harder through art. Although I do love and cherish my computer it is about the only materialistic object I have an actual "love" for.
