In the spirit of Corita Kent, the task was to find a quote or phrase related to the theme of ‘Peace’.
I thought of Megadeath’s 1986 album ‘Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying?’. Everybody says they want peace but it always seems like greed gets in the way. Who is willing to overcome their ego and commit to the hard work of peace? ‘Peace Sells’ was distorted on paper and photographed. The next part of the message is hidden in the red background.
I also used scans I made from flowers that transform from bright and sunny to red and disintegrating.
The hand written poem ‘The Fist’ by Mary Oliver, highlights the importance of being hopeful for peace even when violence and war seems to be human nature.
