During class we talked about Sue Coe, and her paintings which focus on animal rights. As I was searching through her pieces, the one titled "modern man followed by ghosts of his meat" really stood out to me. One thing that really intrigued me about Coe's work is the fact that they look very similar to political cartoons, I suppose that is the type of look she is looking for seeing that she is an activist artist.
I am a person who eats meat as a part of every meal and to see the perspective of the artist in this piece actually strikes home to me. Its a really interesting view that she portrays the animals so differently then just livestock raised for eating.
