Portapocalypse II
2005
Woodblock and Silkscreen on Paper

The name Portapocalypse comes out of the idea that the various elements of the piece can be broken down into a relatively small package, transported easily, and can then ‘blow up’ in any space it is installed. The work addresses war, empire, destruction, apocalypse, and the collusion of religion, power, and politics in contemporary American society.
