Richard Rodriguez approaches art from a political point of view. “Apple Pie” takes America’s love of guns and turns it on its head, capturing that sudden violent flash as a beautiful instant on canvas. In that instant he creates a collage of fractals and Mandelbrot sets, resembling views from the Hubble or the trails left by the remains of smashed atoms in a super collider.
