BATTLE
ON THE HOMEFRONT
tempura on kraft paper
Marianne Marchegiano LaBrecque
Description:
MEANWHILE. . . . . . A BATTLE
RAGES ON THE HOMEFRONT
Two hands are ripping at the American flag, which is against a yellow
background.
On the stripes of the flag are written reminders of some of the things this flag
represents
which are being threatened, which we must fight to save:
FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ASSOCIATION,
LIBERTY,
DOMESTIC HUMAN RIGHTS,
FREEDOM OF ETHNICITY,
ETC, ETC, ETC
NO SERVITUDE ( FORCED SVCS) [ i.e., NO
SLAVERY !!!! ]
DOMESTIC PEACE AND NON-AGGRESSION
Along the yellow right hand ripping it is written
SLEAZE – capital letters,
smudged, sooty, ugly,
the A of the word, as well as the yellow color of these
hands, melting onto the flag as it rips.
GANG ACTIVITY, in capital letters, is
written along the thumb,
on the fingers:
dysfunctional infrastructure,
Ostriches,
Apathy,
APATHY.
TERRORIZED COMMUNITIES is written along the yellow left hand;
on the fingers,
APATHY,
BRAVELESSNESS,
APATHY,
COMMUNITY TERRORISM;
the thumb,
APATHY;
along the
side from the elbow to the wrist:
APATHY,
APATHY,
APATHY,
APATHY.
The stars of the flag appear as people would under an unexpected enemy attack -
they are fleeing across the field of blue in different directions.
Some are
attempting to carry wounded to safety.
The flag is in black outline
against the disturbing background of yellow that
appears as the
BATTLE that RAGES ON THE HOMEFRONT
Yeah,
I'm a lunatic for thinking that dirty laundry should be washed.
I'm a lunatic - if only for
sticking my neck out like this.
I'm a lunatic for not backing off !
