The Same is True of Man

This series of screen prints, paint, and notions on towels from Sears, feature images inspired by the Jean Genet treatise, “The Aesthetics of Evil.” Point two of his thirty point diatribe states, ” Crimes of which a people is ashamed to constitute its real history. The same is true of man.”‘

You can read Jean Genet’s “The Aesthetics of Evils,” here.

These pieces were part of the exhibition “One more kiss then we’re history.” This group exhibition featured Cobi Moules, Kelli Connell, Molly Landreth, Steven Frost, and Steve Locke at Platform Gallery (Seattle, WA)  in December of 2011.
