Week 10 – Artist – Joseph DeLappe & Micol Hebron

 Joseph DeLappe uses cardboard, money, and other common media that would typically be thrown away to express what he feels about political issues in his artwork. He did use online gaming platforms to express his feelings which is probably one of the last things I would expect to be used in art. Micol Hebron uses photography, sculptures, and other "normal" media to express her feelings on politically charged gender issues. DeLappe chooses his media from his knowledge learned in both university and his everyday hobbies, while I think Hebron chooses her media based on what I think she thinks would reach a higher audience. For example Hebron drew male nipples and made stickers based off that to spread awareness on nudity in media. I think their work is similar in the sense that they are both politically charged, however, Hebron's work is based on the feminist movement and mostly targeted in the U.S., but does have applications ouside of the U.S., while DeLappe's political expression of other countries as well, such as his Ghandi artwork. From what I've seen, their media isn't similar, but since Hebron does use sculptures to express her feelings, she may use the same media as DeLappe to make those sculptures. I think another media Hebron could use is money just like Delappe. With money, she could express how having money affects Congress members, the same people that produce and uphold misogynistic laws. DeLappe could use blood to show how much blood is shed in wars, but that would use up a lot.
