Artist's statement:

"I created this work in 1996 for the "Zapatista Poster Project" of the Resistant Strains Art Collective of Boston Massachusetts. The artwork was printed as a color poster and then distributed all over the country, but particularly in California and the South West. The image is based upon an ancient Mayan portrait sculpture, and makes the connection between the resistance of the indigenous people of old with the modern Mayan in today's state of Chiapas Mexico. This was my first all digital poster creation."
