Thanks to climate change, wildfire risk in the United States won’t just be a Western problem anymore. Use your vote for candidates who take global warming and science seriously in November.

Another new art discovery from Detroit:
THE HERO, 1960
Artist: Leroy Foster, American, 1925-1993
He was called Detroit's Michelangelo for his understanding of anatomy but what I love most about THE HERO is the confident gaze that exudes dignity.

Every time I write off John Singer Sargent for being all about superficial drapery and sleeping with his subjects, I come across a painting of his like this...THE MOSQUITO NETS (1908) at @diadetroit has wispy visible brushstrokes making the image seem very spontaneous.

What I love about the photographic medium is the way that a photograph can take something
very ephemeral, very temporary and transgress that temporality. Photography freezes otherwise soon forgotten moments of life as well as movements of the body
in ways our brains cannot.

I’m using a 19th century technology to record a 21st century one in Surface Tension. In its inception, analog photography, of course, was also the “latest” technology . & people were skeptical about it weaving fictions about individual lives or historical events.

Interestingly, the study showed that those who primarily engaged in social media for verbal posting,
such as Twitter, did NOT show these tendencies.

(The study consisted of 39,000 college students, over 4 months- average increase = 25%) #DigitalNarcissism

. @TransformerStation is showing two concurrent exhibitions that separately respond to environmental, social, economic, and cultural issues of our time. SURFACE TENSION is one of them.

The playlist is probably too long. Check it out and tell me what you think...

The playlist is in honor of the Surface Tension exhibit at Transformer Station in Cleveland. It stays up until January so if you are in the area, stop in!

Studio light coming in on top of new work - and through it.

The residue of surface touch
records our lives; the subjects pictured beneath
them record our culture. The prints, smears, and
stains are not just grime, but rather evidence of
flitting attention, a map of how we spend our time.
