Back from Germany
Back from Germany: I am now back from setting up for my new show (details to follow) and the pressure is on!
If you live in this city, you're exposed to so many cultures and ethnicities. You fuse your life with the lives of everyone around and you feel their anguish when they're pained.
An artist's sensitivity to the environment around them is even more magnified.
Such is true with the events of the past few years in Israel/Palestine. Politics is such an undiplomatic arena. Most Americans watch glimpses of the turmoil in the area. But with a husband from the state, and whose whole family lives there, I live it every day. Most people I know here do as well.
Luckily art can be a vent for the turmoil which builds up inside of us.
