About “Don’t Tread On Me”

In the series “Don’t Tread On Me” we are stopped, face planted to the road, or exposed face up. The road becomes the stage where the victim lay. Having been struck or run over there is the tension of waiting for it to happen again. Though I am using the slogan from the early days of the American Revolution, it is in reference to the fear of our being crushed by the tires of Trump administration. I’ve been looking at the German Expressionists Max Beckmann and George Grosz for influences, as well as Francis Bacon.
