● @Amymeissnerartist : The fact that this work has two meanings lends it the deep complexity, humor and horror it wields. Yes, restating these quotes could be seen as supportive, just as his words/actions can be deemed “patriotic.” Your titles are working as hard as your needle. Don’t stop. I know it takes a long time to sit with these words when you reiterate them in thread—people don’t understand this vital piece either. This is a lot of energy for an artist to take on…who else is out there sitting with this man’s language for hours at a time? Very few would even consider the task.

● @Robertchaplin : It’s straight up art, therefore politically neutral. The only thing more loathsome than a politician is a politician’s fan boy. As your conceptualism is rooted in traditions of feminine handicraft, it exposes a feminist position. This automatically places you in opposition to Trump. Further, Trump’s place in history, his exercise of office, will always be contrasted with his twitter feed. You are ensuring this stupidity enters the material record, providing the opportunity for this man’s words to guarantee his legacy, POTUS/Twit.
