While watching a flag undulating in a breeze, I saw that the shapes were quite like the shapes of an undulating landscape and thought it would be interesting to make three-dimensional flags using papier mache techniques I had worked with in earlier pieces. As homage to Jasper Johns, I decided to use the compositions of his flag paintings for the compositions of this series.  Like Johns, I also used newsprint, however I used it for its content rather than its abstract qualities.  These landscapes offer critque of American culture and politics.
