This is My American flag, created using words and letters clipped from popular newspapers. My interest consists in exploring the boundaries of sense, nonsense, and simulations of sense, as they relate to the American flag, a symbol heavy-laden with ideas, ideologies, concepts, conceptions, and images. The notion of a flag where stripes are comprised of words and stars are non-existent intends to highlight the tensions arising from associations of sense and nationalism in our current culture.
