Collage vintage appropriated images with gold beading 20” x 23.4”
I am delighted that my piece The Golden Age of America is Not so Golden for My Golden Years, is appearing in The Nation OppArt page today
Wanting to make America great again Trump welcomed us to his dawning of The Golden Age of America, his Gilded Age 2.0 that will benefit this generation’s Robber Barons. The Golden Age is the Gilded Age, when America was great with tariffs, Jim Crow, income inequality & women had no rights.
But the Golden Age is not golden for WE the People.
Even as I move forward chronologically, our country is moving backwards as a society. The social welfare programs put in place as guardrails that I believed would protect me in my old age, are slowly being dismantled. There will be nothing golden about my golden years.
No amount of gold can hide how morally bankrupt our country has become.
Envisioning The American Dream 
What a bold statement you make with your art and your words. Kudos to The Nation for showcasing this amazing collage.
