Katya Grokhovsky, Postcards from America #5, 2020, digital painting and collage, 20 x 24 inches ed. 1/7 and 10 x 12 inches ed 1/13
AN EAST WING PROJECT SPACE ONLINE EXHIBITION
Postcards from America is a mixed media project, which explores unrealized expectations and the American dream through digital painting and collage. Utilizing an ongoing practice of constructing a postcard as a ritual to time stamp the duration of a global crisis, by repurposing and manipulating web-based media ephemera depicting theme parks and cartoon characters, the project investigates displacement and the construct of a particular cultural identity.
