Karen Crist, "We Hold These Truths"

Karen Crist We Hold These Truths, 2025 12" x 17" Assemblage of cardboard, acrylic paint, magazine, photo $125 -- The assemblage conveys the questioning and betrayal of the USA's essential constitutional 'truths,' both historical and contemporary. Spanish punctuation is employed deliberately, inviting viewers to reflect on the Constitution and interrogate current action. The placement of other elements is intended to evoke a response. The word 'America,' having fallen, is vulnerable to being stepped upon.
