Glory Days, Glory Daze occupies an even more subtle territory on first approach, but on close examination, its ideas can provide a greater understanding of the two other pieces. Set against a landscape-themed vintage wallpaper, Gaignard has carefully integrated a large number of smaller collage elements which blend into the environment so effectively in places as to be invisible. Flags of different American epochs are flown above the houses, including the David Hammons red/green/black flag. Signage speaks to different communities. Figures range from the iconic to the mundane, ranging from Civil Rights icons like Tommie Smith and Ruby Bridges to pop cultural nods like Drew Barrymore in Grey Gardens. Surveillance cameras and piles of garbage complicate a landscape already tangled with meaning. Importantly—how can we reconcile the real, the ideal, the imagined? Collaged on the surface, a mirror literally brings the viewer into the composition.

Other notable icons in this piece include Elizabeth Eckford and Ruby Bridge. Eckford was one of the Little Rock Nine, a group of African American students who, in 1957, were the first black students ever to attend classes at the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Bridges was the first African American child to attend formerly whites-only William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis on November 14, 1960.

JFK Jr. is pictured as a child, protest imagery in Nashville April 27 1964, 1968 Olympics black power salute by Tommie Smith and John Carlos, and 1969 images of children holding anti-war signs.
