Project Statement:
The VGoT is an Art Project posing as a propaganda campaign for new American homefront values. The style draws from mid-century war propaganda, and the messages are inspired by the 21st century sustainability movement. The campaign is designed to access America's history of ingenuity to overcome adversity, and apply those values to fighting modern problems.
The VGoT is deployed as a series of poster images that are giclee printed, screen printed, or painted on panel.
