A hand-bound and hand-printed artbook, with illustrations executed individually and collaged together in such a way as to draw the viewer's eye downward, into the "sinkhole". From the artist's website: '"The Great Sinkhole" is an artist book from Art Hazelwood, drawn from a year and a half of political street posters in opposition to the Trump madness. The images form a broad narrative including the GOP convention, Trump's open embrace of the fascist right in Charlottesville, the response to Hurricane Maria, attacks on public assistance and Playboy models. The Republican elephant is shackled to the president and careening towards some kind of end point, whether an end point of Trump or an end point of democracy is still in question. Volume two is immediately under way.'
