The object of my social political art is not to convince you of my social/political positions. The art is created by me so I may be able to better understand a particular point of view. They are not about you but about me and investigating an idea. So I actually may create a piece with a point of view that may be contrary to what I actually believe. But in this way I get a different perspective on the issue. And - instead of demonizing it I come to a more rounded understanding. I am not clear on my bias but I probably lean toward being a right-winged, social democrat or maybe that should be a left-winged conservative republican. Whatever it is, I don't care. If I did - I'd be doing something a little more active than creating art.
