Painter and traveler. Went to college in Philadelphia, graduate school in NYC, and lived in Puerto Rico for ten years. Now teaching painting and drawing at Ithaca College. Hoping to keep up with the people I’ve met over the years here (not on freakin FB)

Quench. This painting borrowed a gesture from a favorite Susanna and the Elders painting of mine… Any guesses which one?

Looking Back is another iteration of Quench, same space, same gesture, with a different model… I often make the same painting again and again, trying to get it right, or even get it right again.

‘The most urgent need today, as the Columbia case shows, is to create a new social contract on boards of trustees, who have become too craven to be watchdogs and too self-interested to be trusted. ‘

It’s not just the Nazi salute that’s disturbing here. It’s the smirk and nod that follows, signalling to his audience that yeah, I just did a Nazi salute. They clearly believe they are untouchable.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

Art in the time of fascism.
At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

Sounding more alarms:
Do you remember the Nazis' systematic purging of German museums and public collections? And the crappy lifeless "art" perpetuated to promote their shitty racist unoriginal ideals?
