Jocelyn Bullock, American
End Factory Farming, 2018
Bullock’s ink and acrylic drawing presents an image of factory farming that Big Ag actively tries to dispel. The chaotic monochromatic scene features scribbles of words supplementing the flurry of farm animals, exploited factory farm workers, a man presumably representing a Big Ag executive, and a young girl at the center of this jumble reminiscent of the children’s story, Charlotte’s Web. Bullock captures some of these underlying injustices of the factory farming industry and comments on both the individual and corporate responsibilities needed to alleviate the harm the industry causes.
