This diptich pair of 24 x 18 inch pastels on paper is an example of a major theme in my art; our inhumanity to one another. I am often moved by stories and photographs of how we mistreat one another. I find myself wanting to restate in my art with an exclamation point the heart-rending images of the misery.
This brink-of-starvation image from Venezuela captures the trajectory of this country which has bountiful natural resources, but a flawed government. It comes from an image by Meredith Kotow. There was enough, there was a refrigerator even, and yet the people find themselves on the brink of calamity.
