Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by hitme on Oct 22, 2009 20:33:19 GMT 1, I was wondering about the message of the "Star-Spangled Shadows" print and the more I think about it, taking into account the messages of the other originals from their 2008 show....I believe this is a message about our society (U.S. speaking) becoming corrupt and forgetting the culture that the Native Americans had before their land was invaded and colonized. I get a sense of the Native Americans "taking back" their land in a lot of the other canvas pieces....so this is about the Native Americans also taking back their flag and putting their own touch on it (diagonal stripes, etc.).
What does everyone else think? Does my logic make sense?
Any other thoughts/interpretations?

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by monkeyballs on Oct 22, 2009 20:54:00 GMT 1, Or that the yanks currently incumbent in the land of plenty are about to get the same rape treatment from an increasingly globalised world that they dished out to the native americans?
America is in big trouble, it created many industries, but the new 'colonists' (global now) present a real threat in terms of material and labour costs. America had been seen as a land that would always give to its people, now it could be that new colonists will change the way of life and strip them of everything they felt was theirs (ironic no?).
That or yet again I'm over-egging as I already drew the obvious meaning of native american patterning and just want to read more into it.

Faile Flag โข Star Spangled Shadows Print, by stillborncrisps on Oct 22, 2009 21:14:15 GMT 1, This was possibly my fave piece at the show. It's so graphically simple, and I got what the theme of the show was in one hit from it. V pleased they chose to release it.
I'm surprised so many peeps in UK say they can't see it going on the wall coz it's a US flag - for me it's taking the piss out of modern US attitudes and culture, not celebrating the US or being patriotic! I'm happy to hang it. ;-)

Gutted to have missed it - what was the price if anyone knows?
