Concerned with the political hypocrisy and division made commonplace in modern America and perpetuated by the media. According to the Right and Left’s political biases and sources, the work builds an accumulated environment of these images, created in blue and red. Arranged into two murals in the same space on the panels creating a double-exposure image. When the viewer looks through one of the lenses of the sculpture, they will be presented with one political view of the world. An analogy for our own experience selectively filtering out views that do not fit with our own. Many people are no longer able to see the situation from the perspective of their inverse. Two different realities within the same country, so starkly different that each group demonizes the other unthinkingly. Without the ability to see the other side, we are unable to see the entire mess and unable to begin to resolve our issues.

Tiggy Swain

     

My name is Tiggy Swain, I am a mixed media artist based in San Antonio, TX. I paint, draw, design, and explore a lifelong love of the arts. I currently attend the University of the Incarnate Word to pursue a BFA in painting with a minor in both art history and education. My work has been displayed at the 2022 SAALM Collegiate Exhibition. My goal is to create images that are honest and open. Baring your soul to the world can feel scary and raw, but to me, that’s what creating is all about. I want people to see my most vulnerable parts because they are what truly make me who I am. Art is the exploration of each of our own psyches. In my opinion, great art is the transformation of the conceptual to the tangible in a way that universally relates to the human experience. I aim to capture a piece of that exceptional balance in my work.
