#America is not only its grotesqueness. It is also its achievements in the promise that "all (people) are created equal," offering it in #EmmaLazarus' poem on the #StatueofLiberty... "a female embodiment commanding maternal strength and 'Mother of Exiles.'" #immigrantsmakeamericagreat bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

🌈Inventer une histoire d’amour entre deux œuvres d’art ! 🖼️

☺️Vous n’y avez jamais pensé ? Bah, moi je l’ai imaginé ! Et pas n’importe laquelle : une idylle entre La Joconde et La Statut de la Liberté.
🫶 « Dame liberté » est en vérité une déesse et notre Joconde est une icône. J’imagine la statut de la liberté donnant la clé de son cœur à la Joconde… oui tout un symbole qui reste une illustration non politique, je précise, juste artistique !

We are a nation of immigrants save for the indigenous people.

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The New Colossus" is a sonnet by Emma Lazarus (1849-1887), written in 1883 and, in 1903, engraved on a bronze plaque and mounted inside the Statue of Liberty.

"Give me the wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send the homeless to me, I lift my lamp [at] the golden door!"
*The New Colossus,* Emma Lazarus, written to raise money for the construction of Liberty's base, 1883. But this was only later associated with the statue.
>The Statue of Liberty was actually a gift from France to commemorate the United States finally ending slavery. She's broken free from her shackles and chains.

One year ago today I posted this miniature They Live Photo I created.

Shot using two photos one of the Statue of Liberty the other of the They Live Alien then superimposed the face over the top. Cotton wool was used for the sky.

This is the most photoshopping I've done in a photo

Needs to be said:

The Statue of Liberty is not green because somebody painted it green. It's green because it's made of copper.

“La Liberté éclairant le monde,” a gift from France, by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.

I haven’t felt much like sharing photos of Lady Liberty in the past dark years, but maybe I can do so after yesterday’s election. The clouds gather, but still she stands.

Fuck the fascists, fuck cruelty, fuck the politics of corruption and despair. There’s life in New York yet, and we’re not going down without a fight.

Fifth piece from my 7-part series for Yellow Sun Coffee. This one's particularly personal; NYC is home for both me and Yellow Sun, rendered as the Statue of Liberty against a radiant yellow sun. I liked the blur between abstract and literal here. ~About 28 hours. I liked the contrast between the matte black paper and reflective yellow ink.

On view at Yellow Sun Coffee in NYC!
