Migrant Worker

Final art
Here's a poster I recently finished for the National Labor Federation calendar. I have worked on this project a few times over the years and wanted to try something a bit different. The poster was to deal with the ssues surrounding migrant workers in America, and their legal problems.I would up  with a mixed media assemblage- I made the barbed wire myself and stretched it over the painting, when I began to feel unsatisfied with the painted wires...

I had originally planned to paint the barbed wire but decided to experiment by making it three-dimensionally.
