“Brutish Colunbia” (2017) 6′ x 4′ x 2″- collage – acrylic and mixed media on defaced flag

Evident in the sheer coloniality of its name, the province of British Columbia has too long reveled in its supposed Englishness. The province’s flag prominently featured the Union Jack until 1960 but, sadly it still failed to ditch entirely that colonial remnant. Instead the province chose to incorporate the union joke into a newer design along with yet another symbol of colonial oppression: the crown. This piece displays the vestiges of colonial eponyms interspersed with indigenous alternatives. Also hidden within are a number of headlines from yet another pointless, costly royal excursion to the no-longer colonies… siiiiiiigh.
