This is another reader response journal but for Grapes of Wrath. The family in this novel relies on their truck to get them to California. The background for this piece was made by using found papers, specifically license plates, ad then I sponged the background with different paints. The truck is the focus and lace, string, and pearls were used yet again as supportive elements. I used another stencil and spray paint for the text. This piece is titled "pilgrimage".

  1. I love this truck, i love the mixture of the lace with the harshness of the subject matter. I also like the text in this piece. Good Job!

  2. Wow, the picture quality really makes the truck 'pop'! I really love the subdued license plates in the background, as well as the spray paint typography!

  3. I love the truck. It looks as if it is popping out at me. The color choice makes me think of the dust bowl and the great depression. What did you use on the side?
