The story behind the clothesline was to cause a phenomenon its purpose was so you could she the psychological effects of it some it maybe paranoid of an underground cult some tore them down as eye sores and vandalism and others well they got used to it it adapted into culture and then people wanted the stickers as a momentum a keepsake and comfort it turned into a clothing lining taking it a step further in the cultural direction.The Obama hope picture actually got him into a lawsuit for copy right because the photo of Obama it was made from was not his even so that image was still used in many rally's speeches he gave before being elected and helped is campaign as well.
i have learned u can use text and image to deepen or make it more obvious and to the point if it seems off track. contemporary use text and image to add meaning to their art
i could wright words in little scrolls under the images or put big text over it to say the meaning. i found it interesting how Shepard would do this to create a impact on the culture of many people through his art.
