Star-Spangled artist

Ryan Carrington's vision of the American dream. Find him on Instagram. Art includes flags made of carpentar's pants, hospital scrubs, lab coats, really makes a powerful statement. 

"San Jose-based artist Ryan Carrington’s practice often references the philosophies of his family upbringing: if one is true to their work, true to others, and true to oneself, then true greatness is attainable. In the last decade, Carrington has created large-scale installations of fiber art and multimedia works inspired by American industry with a focus on how the country spends its work and leisure time. Juxtaposing tools and materials of white and blue collar workers, Carrington prompts questions about how our country values labor and class divisions, and how workers strive for the American Dream"
