20×16” oil painting and ink on canvas. Inspired by Year Zero by NIN, specifically the track “In This Twilight.” This is my Resistance Fighter (a character I invented) and a dark self-portrait. The role we have in our planet’s destruction and ultimate demise is larger than we think. we’re all underground sometimes. ART IS RESISTANCE! Original painting not for sale. Lyrics to In This Twilight: watch the sun, / as it crawls across a final time / and it feels like, / like it was a friend. / it is watching us, / and the world we set on fire / do you wonder, / if it feels the same? and the sky is filled with light / can you see it? / all the black is really white / if you believe it / as your time is running out / let me take away your doubt / you can find a better a place / in this twilight from dust to dust, / ashes in your hair remind me / what it feels like / and I won’t feel again / night descends / could I have been a better person / if I could only do it all again and the sky is filled with light / can you see it? / all the black is really white / if you believe it / and the longing that you feel / you know none of this is real / you will find a better place / in this twilight
Bush and Cheney. 12×16” Pen and ink, charcoal and eggshells on canvas board. In this piece, Cheney is partly made of eggshells which I used to show his frailty in mind and in body. Our administration does so much damage in the name of God and country. The populace in the lower portion is disfigured, without hope and without justice in this world. Text is from a sermon by Jonathan Edwards entitled “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (1741): Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and swiftly descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider’s web would have to stop a falling rock. Were it not for the sovereign pleasure of God, the earth would not bear you one moment; for you are a burden to it; the creation groans with you… There are the black clouds of God’s wrath now hanging directly over your heads, full of the dreadful storm, and big with thunder; and were it not for the restraining hand of God, it would immediately burst forth upon you… there is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, that holds the waters back, that are unwilling to be stopped, and press hard to go forward. If God should only withdraw his hand from the flood-gate, it would immediately fly open, and the fiery floods of the fierceness and wrath of God, would rush forth with inconceivable fury, and would come upon you with omnipotent power…The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood… Also inspired by NIN/Year Zero, specifically the track Capital G. The lyrics to this amazing song are as follows: I pushed a button and elected him to office and a / He pushed a button and it dropped a bomb / You pushed a button and could watch it on the television / Those motherfuckers didn’t last too long ha ha / I’m sick of hearing ‘bout the haves and the have nots / Have some personal accountability / The biggest problem with the way that we’ve been doing things is / The more we let you have the less that I’ll be keeping for me Well I used to stand for something / Now I’m on my hands and knees / Traded in my God for this one / He signs his name with a Capital G Don’t give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala / Don’t really see what all the fuss is about / Ain’t gonna worry bout no future generations and a / I’m sure somebody’s gonna figure it out / Don’t try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person / You haven’t had enough to know what it’s like / You’re only angry ‘cause you wish you were in my position / Now nod your head because you know that I’m right—all right! Well I used to stand for something / But forgot what that could be / There’s a lot of me inside you / Maybe you’re afraid to see Well I used to stand for something / Now I’m on my hands and knees / Traded in my God for this one / He signs his name with a Capital G
18×24” acrylic painting on canvas. inspired by Year Zero NIN by track The Good Soldier. / ART IS RESISTANCE! writing on painting reads: / Mission is Greed / Result is Death Lyrics to the Good Soldier as follows: Gunfire in the street / Where we used to meet / Echoes at a beat / And the bass goes “bomb” / Right over my head / Step over the dead / Remember what you said You know the part about life / Is just a waking dream / Well I know what you mean / But that ain’t how it seems right here, right now How can this be real? / I can barely feel / Anymore I am trying to see / I am trying to believe / This is not where I should be / I am trying to believe Blood hardens in the sand / Cold metal in my hand / Hope you understand the way that things are gonna be / There’s nowhere left to hide / ‘Cause God is on our side / I keep telling myself I am trying to see / I am trying to believe / This is not where I should be / I am trying to believe

I’d listen to the words he’d say / but in his voice I heard decay / the plastic face forced to portray / all the insides left cold and gray / there is a place that still remains / it eats the fear it eats the pain / the sweetest price he’ll have to pay / the day the whole world went away -Nine Inch Nails The Day The World Went Away I prefer the version of the song that starts with a loud beginning, but this is the version he made the video to. / (I did edit the colors on this one. They were originally warm colors, I added the greenish-blue hue.) Photo taken at one of the Edmonds Beaches, WA / (Puget Sound) © Jessica Walker 2009
I got my head, but my head is unraveling / Cant keep control, cant keep track of where its traveling / I got my heart but my heart is no good / And you’re the only one that’s understood / I come along but I don’t know where you’re taking me / I shouldn’t go but you’re reaching back and shaking me / Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky / The more I give to you, the more I die And I want you / You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug You make me hard, when I’m all soft inside / I see the truth, when I’m all stupid eyed / The arrow goes straight through my heart / Without you everything just falls apart My blood wants to say hello to you….. -NIN, The Perfect Drug VERY old photo / Edit: OOPS, forgot to add a title! © Jessica Walker
