Artist's Comments

this is my political art project on gay marriage that i did for my art class a couple weeks ago. this is actually a photograph of the piece, which is comprised of three different layers:

1. the background: a photograph of a local church i took
2. chain link fence
3. the top- a photograph of two guys holding hands

the letters of the title 'marriage is love' are made up of much smaller text listing about 60 rights and privilages that homosexual couples do not have because they cannot get married.

i had my photographs printed out in black and white at kinkos and then colored them by hand with watercolor, also going over them with sharpie to strengthen values and such.

im rather happy with the way it turned out, and i hope that it makes y'all think a little...
