That's All Folks
That’s All Folks was the title of my master’s exhibition at Eastern Illinois University, held in Charleston, Illinois, in 2017. The work was created in response to events and cultural shifts surrounding the 2016 election year. Classic American cartoon characters were reimagined with a darker twist through layered texture and surface treatment. By incorporating elements of rust, rot, and visual “white noise,” I aimed to blur the headspace and evoke a sense of unease.
