Demolition, Projects, Stencils, Street Art, Toxic Wastes, Urban Decay 7 Comments“As a painter, act as the eye of the community, for the community.”
“In the 70s, I made a conscious choice of changing the formal aesthetics I was taught in art school. No longer interested in working within the spatial restrictions of a white canvas, I embraced the outdoors, reducing the value of an art object to that of a shared visual experience for the general public. At the same time, the formal ‘blankness’ of a typical gallery, devoid of any distinctive character, no longer held interest for me.”

growth will always supersede decay.

Mortal Wounds: Disappearing Places of Spirit, Newark, New Jersey.
Demolition, Stencils, Urban Decay 1 CommentMortal Wound in Newark
a mourning like no other morning
the sun rose up
to show support
the crew was laughing drinking coffee
their wrecking ball
had never failed
a final mass and a church stood empty
stillness
then a blasting whistle
a test of strength that didn’t crumble
solid stones
and mortared walls
