Gold Dripping Flag (made in China)
2012
Andrew Schoultz's "Gold Dripping Flag (made in China)" combines acrylic paint and gold leaf applied over a stretched American flag mounted on panel, creating a striking juxtaposition between the symbol of national identity and precious materials. The work's title references the manufacturing origin of its materials, introducing a layer of irony about globalization and consumer culture that complicates the flag's traditional patriotic associations. By transforming the flag with dripping gold, Schoultz explores themes of value, decay, and the commodification of American symbols in contemporary society.
