How are voters won over?
Explosive Politics presents two campaign strategies – 21 action words each – to transform opinion and motivate public action. Both are explosive and transformative: one by destroying and the other by constructing. One razes, the other raises.
Regardless of an individual’s position on the political spectrum, Explosive Politics is a reminder that Democracy is dynamic, continually arriving at crossroads. Every election offers multiple directions, some positive; promoting growth, and others negative; leaving scars. Democracy is bigger than any election – though each election provides an opportunity to invest, or withdraw – from our collective future. Ultimately, voters decide which path our country travels.
The artwork for the Explosive Politics text concertina was collaged and then computer-printed on Moab Entrada rag paper using saturated jumping colors against a smooth silky black. The 1950s firecracker containers were purchased from a retired sales representative who serviced candy manufacturers. Joe Freedman of LEAFpdx.com designed, laser-cut, and crafted the miniature maple munitions caissons.
Each copy of Explosive Politics comes complete with vibrant text, concertina, firecracker case, background booklet, laser-cut maple caisson, and a tagboard storage box.
