America’s Choice

“I used a paper grocery bag from the A&P (Atlantic & Pacific) supermarket in New York, the slogan on the bag reading: ‘America’s choice.’ This work made was made in 1988 while I was living in a small loft, a block south of Canal Street, the stenciled lyrics taken from the iconic song about New York by Frank Sinatra, encapsulating the consistent buzz and vibrancy, with the egalitarian possibilities afforded to anyone, and the importance of ‘making it’ in New York, the city that captured my heart.”
