Helen K. Garber and DUCE collaboration is now a part of the San Diego Auto museum

Last year I worked on a project with my good friend Helen K. Garber. I got to paint this old trailer she found in the forest. We wanted to make a statement on the housing crises that was happening during that time period. I collaborated with PRONE to create a peace that would illustrate that america was living on credit and had Insuficient funds therefore could not afford to live its lavish life style. This trailer was exhibited widely by photographer Helen K. Garber. It's now a part of the San Diego Auto museum permanent exhibit/collection. For more of Helen K.
