America Today: Overconsumption, 2024

America Today, Gluttony.HEIC

Description: The board is covered in black acrylic. A series of cartons from food are placed sporadically across the board. The specific containers are five Yuengling boxes, three Fruit Gushers boxes, and four Planters Peanut bottles.

Meaning: This piece is the fifth in my America Today series. The piece is meant to depict the negatives of overconsumption in the United States. The piece was initially made to be a critique on obesity however the addition of the Planters led me to change it to a commentary on overconsumption or gluttony.

Medium: Acrylic, cardboard, and plastic on wood

Size: 24" wide x 48" tall

Availability: Available
