Hopmice at Volunteer Park HOPS.  March 30, 2010 @ Soho20 Chelsea Gallery NY

HOPS is a modest installation about the gate through which
we may choose or reject to enter the world of responsible
thinking.  It is about what we received from the past and
give to the future acknowledging both with eyes wide open.

Hotspots and Canaries

Open the door, Richard,

Open the door and let me in,

Open the door, Richard,

Richard, why don’t you open that door

HOTSPOTS, April 2009, Soho20 Chelsea Gallery NY

Open the door Richard was a catchphrase in the US after WW2. Starting out as a Vaudeville act and quickly being heard in Jazz recordings and later in rock and roll, it turned into African-American language associated with the civil rights movement. It is now for many the symbol for the closed doors we encounter in life. Maybe the most significant being the door we all will need to open to see and acknowledge what is happening to our world.

Lions Share LIONSHARE,2005

Once upon a time lions denned from southern Europe to the center of India and throughout Africa.  A few are left in the Gir Sanctuary in India.  They are wiped out in North Africa.  An, up to now, healthy group lives in areas of central Africa.  In South Africa only a small population of approximately 2000 survives in Kruger National Park, 1200 of these survivors are severely ill with bovine tuberculosis.  So far no cure exists.  All net proceeds of this exhibition will be donated for research and the purchase of veterinarian medicine to benefit the lions of South Africa and to curb the spread of the deadly disease to healthy prides in Botswana and Zimbabwe
