It's the antidote to everything-- SHOPPING! I'm losing my mind every time I read a headline about the President here blocking testing and protective gear. But hey, let's all go shopping, and forget your masks, we're free!!!!!
Yes it just looks like sheer insanity from where I am standing Robin. I'll be interested to see what happens when some of those now protesting to get their 'freedoms' back get sick. Wonder who they'll blame then.
This image captures the madness of not only our time now, but the general madness of hyper consumerism. Buying shit we don't need for the sake of amusement and distraction. As the Wicked Witch said, "What a world! What a word!"
Exactly - buying shit to distract ourselves from what? Ourselves of course. I didn't know the collage was going to be about this subject when I started it. I just cut out random stuff, stuck it together and added the background in colour pencil. I scanned it and added the caption digitally. I love collage - it has a way of revealing and extracting the unconscious.
