TI-ROCK MOORE 'Merica, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
'Merica, 2016
mixed media
72 x 36 x 36 inches


This piece brings under scrutiny the conservative right wing’s unrelenting support of the second amendment, the right to keep and bear arms. The whiteness of the vending machine and presence of hand rifles, and bibles, denotes the culture of white supremacy and Christianity, both ideologies often closely linked to these objects. Equally, the placement of lethal weapons inside of a vending machine is a criticism of how readily available firearms are across the United States. Here, Moore insists that if the National Rifle Association’s power continues to successfully push against gun control policy, mass shootings such as the 2016 Pulse Night Club massacre, will continue to occur. In pairing guns and bibles together, Moore brings to light the irony of holding such contradicting values as enabling hate crimes and violence while claiming allegiance to a faith that insists upon compassion, humility, and so-called tolerance for your neighbor.

TI-ROCK MOORE Flint, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
Flint, 2016
mixed media
48 x 12 x 12 inches

Moore’s piece “Flint” is an overtly speaks out against the mismanagement of the water crisis in Michigan, Flint, which began in 2014. The brown water constantly flowing from the bright white water fountain signals the ongoing situation in the majority black town, as well as, the extreme limitations placed on communities of color due to flawed infrastructures that privilege the needs of affluent and often predominantly white communities.

TI-ROCK MOORE Vile, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
Vile, 2016
neon
76 x 34 inches

The neon crosses spelling out the terms “white” and “privilege” is a criticism of the prominence of European Christianity in the United States and the unearned advantage held by white Americans. The word “vile” is highlighted in red neon, as an expression of the immorality that white privilege prompts. 

TI-ROCK MOORE "GREAT" Again, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
"GREAT" Again, 2016
mixed media
48 x 72 x 6 inches


Always aligning her work with contemporary issues, '"GREAT" Again' speaks to the extreme right-wing rhetoricthat endorsed and supported the eventual election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. The upside down positioning of the American flag, signaling dire distress, is a thematic element of Moore’s current body of work. However, here the whiteness and resulting subtlety of the defining characteristics of the American flag, is a visual metaphor of the unforeseeable rise of white supremacy that is notably slated to run Trump’s administration. The shocking success of Trump’s presidential campaign denotes a fearful reality for many, particularly since greatness under these terms is equated with whiteness.

TI-ROCK MOORE Cracka House Village, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
Cracka House Village, 2016
mixed media
48 x 24 x 24 inches


This series is an extension of Moore’s initial 6-foot tall mix media piece “Cracka House.” The series investigates the patterns of gentrification, which often begin with unassuming young whites looking for affordable housing in urban communities of color on the brink of a transition. Moore further implies that the subsequent “revitalization” of a once troubled community is only accelerated when the demographic shifts toward whiteness. This domino effect ironically mirrors the migratory chains of immigrant communities, however, structural and even aesthetic improvements that follow this demographic shift clearly point to a gap in living standards between races and therefore racial inequality. Additionally, the displacement of residents of color due to drastic rent increases,exemplify what Moore considers to be modern-day colonization.

TI-ROCK MOORE Cracka Please, 2016

TI-ROCK MOORE
Cracka Please, 2016
mixed media
42 x 42 inches


Moore continues to inject humor into her manipulation of the Premium Cracker box as an object of satire. The image of the Premium Cracker brand one of familiarity, but often associated with recovering from a stomach illness or general staleness comments on the absurdity of value placed on white contemporary art, for instance, and investigates the authenticity of historical art movements like Pop Art. Beyond the wordplay, which pokes fun at one of the few derogatory phrases used to describe Caucasians, adorning something as mundane as a literal cracker box with Swarovski crystals, reveals a celebration of white mediocrity in not only the contemporary art world, butmuch of capitalistic American society.

Game boards and gaming interest me greatly as a tool for socialization but also as a reflection of life.  Board games are central in building communication skills with your peers as a child, but often come with a strict set of rules.  Everyone ends up with their own way about handling the rules, they create house rules as an interpretation of the games actual rules to encourage more casual play, others treat the rules in a much more strict manner. In life however, though there are countless rules as we often find in casual gaming experiences someone always cheats.  The playing field is almost often never flat, but a serpentine road that can be at times treacherous to navigate.  Along the Serpent’s Road things may appear tempting at times, glossy signage paving each space from the tail to the head offering one any number of things.  Along the way a host of characters and game pieces lost, astray, indifferent, and embittered.  Some naively cling to the role of the dice they are given instead of making an attempt to skip ahead.  They pass once fertile environments being carved up, sold off, mined, pumped and harvested.  The noise along the road becomes deafening, making it hard for our players to hear the warnings and read the signs that may lead them astray or take them to victory.

13 x 10 x 20 inches

In "Book", a small man is seen crawling about while rewriting a dictionary, symbolizing the ongoing and sometimes sloppy evolution of language in the modern age. The figure whistles “Ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall”, while scribbling misspelled words, SMS chat abbreviations and poorly written notes across the pages of the book.
