Corrupted Eagle , 2009
17.5 x 23 in (h x w)
Etching and relief on 100% cotton paper

“I am interested in using my art to reveal political truths and natural beauty. The eagle — a predator that sits at the top of the food chain — is strong and endowed with keen vision that helps it identify and hunt its prey. As a national symbol, who does it serve? I made ‘Corrupted Eagle’ as it seems America’s national purpose at times is as likely to deceive its citizens and those around the world as it is to pursue their interests. The eagle remains strong, perhaps stronger than ever, but it looks out for itself, whatever the ‘collateral’ damage.”

— Daniel Heyman
