“My art practice investigates symbols of influence and power that impact perception. Donald J. Trump’s constant gaslighting, lies, exaggerations, and false promises have dangerous consequences. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across America: healthcare supplies like masks, gloves, ventilators, ICU beds, and tests remain in short supply. On February 27th, Trump's comments in regards to the crisis: “… And again, we’ve had tremendous success. Tremendous success, beyond what people would have thought.” Like the plague, TREMENDOUS SUCCESS spreads across a black face mask. Denial, incompetence, and blame will only lead to unnecessary fatalities. “ Jenny E. Balisle
