Exceptionalism

6 works

American exceptionalism used to be a story the country told about itself — a promise of being the exception, the one that gets to write the rules. What's left of it now is the posture without the promise: the flag as merchandise, the frontier as a private venture, the gun as a household object printed at home. These drawings sit inside that gap, where the myth still performs beautifully and the thing underneath has already gone somewhere else.
