Description

This print by Fred Tomaselli is representative of the artist's recent experimentations with appropriating images from the media and modifying them to manipulate the viewer's perception. The initial response to this work is a purely visual reaction to the intricate design, and it is only upon further examination that the second level of interaction with the political implications of the image emerge.
