Carlos Barberena, Strawberry Fields, linocut, 2020.
"...Other artists concentrate on the dehumanization and violence in American labor economies, especially as experienced by undocumented immigrants. In a manner similar to some of the artists just mentioned, Carlos Barberena (Strawberry Fields) pairs a florid, 18th-century style frame with an explicit caption (“Essential: For your colonizer comfort”) to link past and contemporary exploitations."  - Elizabeth M. Rudy, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints, Harvard Art Museums. (Boston Printmakers Biennial Catalog)
