This pivotal work elevates Deconstructionism to new heights and is credited with helping spawn the nascent Unconstructionist movement.
Former President George W Bush is depicted in a spacesuit, several hundred miles from Earth's surface and the hearts of American voters. He fails to captivate a SNL-loving demographic: in space, no one can hear your stale catchphrase.
The rainbow-infused dinosaur alludes to the growing acceptance of the GLBT lifestyle juggernaut, while acknowledging that such alternatives remain subject to mainstream corporate media, personified by fembot Britney Spears. Spears fires breast cannons at Bush - referencing an anti-Bush agenda sucked from the mass media teat.
The dinosaur simultaneously spews and devours a neon X chromosome, representing contemporary women’s struggle to establish intrinsic self-worth while paradoxically maintaining acceptance of patriarchal societal expectations. Marvin The Martian, a universal Everyman figure, expresses confusion in the search for ultimate truth - in socio-politics, life, and the work itself - thus mirroring the viewer’s response.
Faux zebra print and carnivale-style pompom trim remind us that the piece is rooted in no single ethnic tradition, although critics are unanimous that the work is absolutely rooted.
