15. Burning Emoluments
January 2017

A silkscreened scarf with hand applied color, depicting the Trump Hotel in Washington D.C. in flames.


The flames are lifted from "Blue Fudo" which Kenneth Clark deems one of the best portrayals of fire in art history, in his essay on Boticelli's illustrations of Dante's Divine Comedy.


Trump's conflicts of interest already feel dated on my list of grievances. I felt incredible anger as I marched past this building on January 21st.
