The New (re)Public is a space of freedom, creativity, and equality where citizens can exercise their political agency by disclosing their identities, publicly share their political opinions, become part of a common world with a collective identity, and utilize their negative capability. Within this project, I utilize my agency as I negotiate my own awkward habits of mark making to create the strongest possible compositions, unifying seemingly dissimilar elements. This unity, this coming together and negotiation of disparate parts into a working and agreeable whole, is the goal not only of my artmaking, but also the mark of a highly functional society. It is the New (re)Public.
