Artist’s statement: I created an image set up with 2 sides. On the left, is Kamala Harris and on the right is Donald Trump. There is a map of the United States, mostly obscured, in the background. Blended over that is a wood grain-like texture in red that runs into the left. On the left is some blue texture that suggests tire tracks. Seemed to fit.

On the left is also an all gender bathroom sign with the mixed man-woman being the most prominent. On the right is a headline, “Attack on U.S. Capital causes 1.5 million in damage, prosecutors say,” along with an image from January 6 mayhem including a Trump flag. Around Donald are some of the 3rd party candidates who were on the ballot in Wisconsin. Cornel West, Robert Kennedy, Claudia De la Cruz and Jill Stein. There is also part of the ballot. On the left side is the edge of a rainbow flag.
