‘President Donald Trump is precisely who Colorado artist and CU Boulder instructor Steven Frost takes aim at with his ornately garish, golden tapestry, which features a direct excerpt from the now-famous whistleblower report, released in September. Frost is known for using materials typically designated to the realm of “crafts” and featuring them in higher brow art contexts or activist spaces. Here, Frost embraces the aesthetics of camp and gaudiness, “using elements of humor and queerness to confront government corruption,” says Myers, the show’s curator. He simultaneously calls out President Trump’s celebrity flashiness while using his intricate weaving style as a metaphor for communities made stronger by coming together.’
