“I have a bunch of ideas for continuing this series, which I think, for the time being, we will just call "America". Please keep in mind that I am submitting these to you in confidence, only for us to work together on, and you should not share them with others. These are all the same format as the first - collage, and I would want them all to be part of the same show, like a series. An attack on sexual harassment scams: Showing the contrast between provocatively dressed women; especially famous women, and headlines from newspapers detailing sexual harassment charges, or we would just come up with lettered headlines ourselves. We would mix in some black and white photos of demurely dressed women from the Victorian era, highlighting the fact that it is Victorian standards of propriety that are being used in modern times. Big dollar signs next to old style damsels in distress, next to almost nude modern women with seductive poses. Or: Fat and happy in America: Collage emphasizing how fat and sloblike Americans have become, mixed with headlines about obesity epidemic, mixed with old black and white photos showing how much better dressed people used to be; for instance, even men standing in unemployment lines were wearing coats and ties back in the day. We would should a graph of how Americans have gotten richer over time, but have also become fatter and slobbier over time. Or: Serve your Country: Pat Tillman was a real American hero; he turned down a rich NFL contract to join an elite part of the Army; then he was killed by friendly fire (his own comrades accidentally shot him.) Then the army tried to cover it up. So we would show the contrast between his pure motives and the reality of what really happened.”
