For many, it represents a beloved television show, childhood memories, and one of the most recognizable cars ever put on television. At the same time, the Confederate imagery associated with the car carries a very different and painful historical meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eRather than attempt to erase either side of that tension, I wanted the environment surrounding the abandoned car to acknowledge it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAcross the alley are symbols and messages connected to humanity, equality, love, protest, and civil rights...including a portriat of Martin Luther King Jr., the word \"HUMAN\" the word \"LOVE\", and \"BLM\" painted across the car itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eMy intention with this painting is not to declare The Dukes of Hazzard or the people who love it racist, nor was it to ignore the history represented by some of its imagery. I was interested in documenting the uncomfortable space where nostalgia, history, culture, and changing human values collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe car remains recognizable...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe history remains complicated...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eAnd the graffiti surrounding it becomes another generation leaving its own marks behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eI don't believe art always needs to resolve these contradictions.
