Tom Otterness, Body Politic
Statement
E Pluribus/Body Politic. From the many of us–we are one. In constant flux, scrambling, climbing, and struggling, we join to make a moving, constantly changing and functioning political body. Together we must decide, moment by moment, which direction that body moves…the unending struggle of democracy.
