Winners will be chosen at random & notified via email. Visit the link in bio for full print details, lottery entry & more. Good luck!⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ For much of my career I only made 18 x 24-inch screen prints of my images, so for this series I created 30 x 41-inch fine art prints on custom paper. This series is the first time many of these images are available as nicer art pieces. It’s been fun to revisit older images utilizing the broader palette of techniques I've developed over the years. To kick things off, I'll be starting by releasing newer images and spanning back to some art that hasn't been seen for a while.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ I chose "Bias by Numbers" as an important piece that features an intersection of abuse of authority by police and racism. In it I am addressing racial bias in policing, criminal justice, and media culture. Black people are 5 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people, and 4 times more likely to be subjected to unnecessary use of force, or 4 times more likely to be killed by the police when unarmed. The stats revealing racial bias in prosecution/sentencing are also compelling. Convictions for drug possession are almost 6 times higher for blacks and African Americans are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀ Media characterizations of black protesters use words like "agitators," “thugs," or "hoodlums,” whereas white protesters are "exercising free speech" or "expressing their convictions" and "showing what democracy looks like." I hope this art doesn't only appeal visually but allows viewers to look at the layers of information and facts and think about how to make positive changes to patterns of injustice. A portion of proceeds will go to Black Lives Matter.-S」5月17日 4時03分
