ABOUT
The screenprint features a striking juxtaposition with its bold and vibrant colors (which also glow in the dark), drawing attention to the contrasting message it conveys. The text "So you need to be 21 years old to drink alcohol and 8 to summon the devil," provokes with humor and urgency. By incorporating a brightly colored Ouija Board as the backdrop, the artwork further emphasizes the theme of transcending boundaries and exploring the unconventional. Simmons’ “Holy Spirits” prompts viewers to reflect on the arbitrary nature of age restrictions and question the societal taboos surrounding alcohol consumption and culturally indoctrinated religious practices.
