White People Are Love
1997
William Pope.L's *White People Are Love* is a provocative mixed-media work combining gouache with plastic and paper collage on paper, layering materials to create a textured, visually complex surface. True to Pope.L's practice of confronting race, identity, and American mythology, the piece uses its blunt, irony-laden title to interrogate constructions of whiteness and belonging. The collision of humble, everyday materials with charged language invites the viewer to question the coded meanings embedded in cultural narratives surrounding race.
