Lawrence's beguiling collage-paintings mix magic and politics, whimsy and anger, a sense of indignation as well as the absurd. In her hands, these intricate dreamscapes, recycled from discarded piles of pop imagery and the art canon, transform into powerful critiques of authority, oppression and social injustice. New worlds are created out of old ones. They are also celebrations of important progressive leaders and milestones in the history of protest. What makes propaganda so dangerous is its emphatic righteousness. And while Dee Dee is clearly a feisty propagandist of the first order, her humor and irony make her lovable and inspire us to share the role of creative change-maker.
