BRUCE HELANDER,
WEST PALM BEACH
"The process behind this piece was thinking about
a non-denominational festive image that reflected
the graphic imagery for which Florida is most
famous: oranges. I cut apart a circa-1940s orange
soda fountain display called 'Heart O' Orange.'
The word 'Florida' is from a vintage postcard,
and the DayGlo images are pieces from a Florida
carnival poster. There are a few other holiday
snippets, such as Santa going down a chimney,
holly, and a holiday tree."
