This piece from the exhibition Black Cherokee at ROOM EAST is a prime example of appropriation art. The artist created this work of appropriation art by using found images and found text to create a whole new meaning to these separate pieces of found material by combining them into one coherent piece of art that has a new narrative. This work of art you could say was created by consumerist browsing, you can tell by the images used, that they were most likely found in magazines or books in which people are persuaded into wanting something or wanting to be like something. By taking the images out of their original context the artist was able to remix the information into something that is not just trying to sell you something but is now telling you a deeper meaning.
