David Opdyke, New York, New York. "The One". Screenprint on rice paper chine-colle, 2007. " . . . a 46 x 35-inch blowup of George Washington's iconic face, fresh off a dollar bill, only, on second glance, not that at all: in fact, looked at more closely, stern Mr. Washington's legendary visage-the very founding face of freedom-is dissolved into a virtual hurricane of consumer culture (talk about the eye of the storm), from sofas to barbecues to vacuum cleaners to TVs to leaf blowers to lawn mowers. ("Those were the weeks when you'd be likely to hear my kids cry out, 'Where's my bike? Where's my wagon? and he'd be directed back to my workspace, where I'd commandeered all his things for models.") - This Land by David Opdyke with commentary by Lawrence Weschler and Afterward by Maya Wiley.
