Flags

Laminating images of a photographic image of a graffiti American flag onto strips of metal, Becker transforms this iconic symbol into sculptural variations of itself. The metal strips have been cut, twisted and forced into shapes and forms that are then reassembled in a loose geometry of stars and stripes.  The robust yet sensuous nature of these flags counter more traditional evocations of pride and patriotism. Whether this bends to an act of desecration or consecration is left up to the viewer.
