Arturo Alonzo Sandoval, Loom-woven collage, Mylar, tissue paper, newspaper, rayon, cotton, and metallic warp yarns, polymer medium, metallic fringe, Pelon, and eyelets, 1989. "In 1984 I began to search for a design or symbol to use for a series of art works on political issues; I chose the American flag. I wanted to move away from abstraction; in the process I found myself rediscovering the pain from these past events."
