Dog Whistle

Vintage Hand-Cut Collage | 9x12 | $350.00. Created from a mix of hand-cut print ephemera, including 1980s playbill cutouts, 1990s postcards, and American turn-of-the-century posters. The artwork examines the hidden psychological dynamics, manipulation, and power structures that artists and musicians often have to navigate in the creative industries. By cutting up and layering abstract bold text like COWARD and NO BOUNDARIES alongside rock culture imagery and vintage advertisements, the collage visualizes the process of breaking through the noise of coded language and gaslighting. Ultimately, the piece serves as an exposing commentary on these industry dark sides, transforming a heavy survival experience into a powerful statement of awareness and reclamation.
