#53. 'Route 66 With Curry (stereotypes).' 2020.2 @ 53" x 75" stretched. Indonesian batik, American fabric. Indonesian character is probably from a Wayang Kulit Hindu epic like the Ramayana. Western prints are of stereotypical, "cowboys and indians". nfs

                                                 

I've noticed more Asian Indians owning and clerking at motels and gas stations wherever the interstate freeway routes go.  One gas station even offers lunch that include curry stews and stock Asian spices and mixes among their limited shelves. People are moving and settling in America all over, all the time. 

I imagine what it would be like as a SE Indian boy growing up here with a diet of Westerns that include old American legends of the "wild west" mixed with family legends from SE Asia.
