FIRE OF FEAR SERIES

In the fall of 2016 during the height of the U.S. presidential campaign there was a palpable sense of fear, which was enflamed by political rhetoric, demonizing of immigrants, & denigration of women. I was taking a printmaking class at the University of MN at the time & felt the fear & intensity of emotions rising among the students & my friends & family.  My international colleagues & family asked me what is going on in America(!!!). This series was work I did in response to that time & it is still sadly even more relevant now.
