My Artists Statement for an upcoming group exhibition: Art and politics are inextricably intertwined. Each artist has a decision to make about who is served by our work, and by our lives in general: either those who run and benefit from the system of global capitalism, or those who are dominated by it. Art is an important weapon in the battle of ideas, and we need to use it consciously and creatively—to expose injustice, ridicule the ruling class, and encourage resistance. Art brings a certain spirit of creativity and soul to political struggle. It is at its best, its most lofty, when it serves the cause of emancipation.
