Much of Scott King's art draws on political imagery and language, though he claims not to be especially political himself. "Most of the stuff I've done that is deemed political is actually about the failure of a certain kind of political ideology," he says. "It's about the failure of the left, mainly. So things like Cher Guevara [made in 2000] and the Angry Brigade Tea Towels (a set of white dishcloths, made in 2002, bearing anarchist communiqués from the 70s) are really about the commodification of once meaningful imagery and gestures."
