The American Ten Commandments pulls the teachings of popular culture out from "between the lines" and puts them in plain view. These teachings bombard us daily from television, movies, advertising, politics, sports, and even casual conversations. It is my hope that increased awareness of these subliminal teachings will make it easier to choose a more positive path, for knowledge gives us the power to choose.

To counteract the negative content of the commandments themselves, I use a double negative to make a positive. By placing the negative content of the commandments on cracked tablets sitting on crumbling supports, with the title sign decaying, I plant the seed of hope that these teachings are on shaky ground and may give way to something better.

These are the teachings of popular culture, The American Ten Commandments, as I see them.
