This is a reactionary piece from feeling bombarded by political signage every couple of years. I don't find political signs to be particularly informative or persuasive. They seem more like a fulfillment of our own personal avatar, or way of establishing how to recognize others with like-minded views. Environmental policy has also always been my number one issue when looking at candidates, and the rise of corrugated plastic signs is alarming because of this. I have personally counted nearly 100 signs at a single intersection in my town. This sculpture is meant to be an ugly, and somewhat unavoidable, reminder to the repercussions of these short-time use items and their use. I hate to look at this large bail of political trash, but it reminds me that the number here is far less than I will pass on my 4 mile drive home from work during an election year. All signs were donated by politicians or by people who used them, and it was expressed that they will be used as art material.
