Collection: Deanna McLaughlin: Trumplemaker Series

Deanna McLaughlin's Trumplemaker series was featured in InLiquid Gallery's November 2020 exhibition, Satirical Candidacy. 

"[Deanna McLaughlin's] playful games based on politics, and Trump, in particular, allows us to take a much-needed breather from the gravity of our political election. As the artist states: “We have a ‘game mentality,’ as people aren’t taking things as seriously as [they] should.” Unsurprising, given that we have a president whose claim to fame was presiding over a reality game show, The Apprentice. The Trumplemaker, a rendition of Trump’s brain replete with images of a few of his favorite things, is like a politically-charged vintage fortune-telling 8-ball. Yet instead of telling us our fortunes, it literally allows us to see and guess what’s on Trump’s mind." - Deborah Kostianovsky, in her review of Satirical Candidacy.
