THE TRADE OF THOUGHT

THE TRADE OF THOUGHT

IDEAS DO NOT EMERGE IN ISOLATION.
THEY TRAVEL. THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED. THEY ARE ADOPTED.

THIS WORK EXAMINES HOW BELIEF SYSTEMS MOVE THROUGH GLOBAL NETWORKS OF MEDIA, POLICY, AND CULTURE. IDEAS ARE PACKAGED AS PROGRESS, MARKETED AS NECESSITY, AND SHIPPED ACROSS BORDERS UNTIL THEY FEEL NATIVE.

IN THE TRADE OF THOUGHT, INFLUENCE BECOMES EXPORT.
CONSENSUS BECOMES IMPORT.
IDENTITY BECOMES NEGOTIABLE.

A COLLISION OF SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND DIGITAL MANIPULATION. THIS WORK IS CONSTRUCTED FROM ORIGINAL IMAGES OF BRONZE AND WOOD SCULPTURES, LAYERED WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS AND REASSEMBLED THROUGH PHOTOSHOP COLLAGE.

THIS DIGITAL ARTWORK CAN BE PRINTED IN ANY OF THE SIZES AVAILABLE IN THE DROP DOWN BOX.
