State of Affairs (2021) is a series of prints explore my frustrations and concerns with the current state of social and political affairs within the United States of America. Stress, discontent, overwhelm, and disillusionment lie at the base of this series of work. Concerns around how the media frames contemporary issues in relation to how people ingest and interpret that information has led me to create commentary through the process of screen printing. By using halftone photographic imagery I reference historical media and newspapers, and how these consumable forms of information shape and influence a society at large. Through word associations and textual interpretations, I look to examine my own understanding of this current state we are living in.
