Tweet, Tweet…Look Who’s Here…or Aliens, Wall Spirits and Other Manifestations

Here Larry Walker adhered US flag stickers alongside text that reads “FREEDOM,” “WALL,” AND “NO MÁS.” Walker constructed this work during the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, using the US flag to mark his concern for immigration policies and the sticky connections between celebrity and political power.
