America Eats it's Young
Approximately 3000 sent stamps from the US and Vietnam, 1960s and 1970s. Tracking the lost American Dream the Cookie Monster is idolized in this collectible cancelled stamp painting.
High on Space cake, the mouth is the gaping black hole of space exploration. Cookie's body is made up of JFK commemorative stamps; the eyes capture the romantic vision of the era- expressed so coherently by Henry David Thoreau who was resurrected with wide popularity during that time; and the cookie has sprinkles of Clown stamps, love stamps, Voice of America stamps, and Support our youth stamps, all sent in the 1960s.
The stars of Imperialism spin around his head. The pupils made of 2¢ Navajo Jewelry stamps have a deeper darker perspective. On a field of 1976 Orchids from Vietnam, the field is orange, representing the Agent Orange that was sprayed over Vietnam.
American History, American Legacy? Gimme Cookie!
