ACC CYPRESS CAMPUS

Hooray! I'm back at ACC Cypress Campus which is a very art friendly campus.
This morning I hung four paintings in the hallway. Soon I will have student work to put up in the hallway, too.

One painting has been changed, a new iteration of the painting.
WINDS OF CHANGE, 30" x 24"
The Civil Rights Movement gave trail-blazing guidance to the Women’s Rights Movement in this country by demonstrating the cost and courage required for changing the power structure.

#98 (CERTIFICATION), 32" X 20"


These blocks are visuals for any of the many inescapable problems in a life. The doll could be women or childhood or innocence of individuals against the forces of life and culture.  

SUN WITNESSES, 28" X 36"

Ruins of civilizations are behind a grid of wild sunflowers, birds; wild things that don’t need humans. Vast expanses of a peculiar desolation

still holds remnants familiar and not. I was thinking that if some water and land persists, the remains of the human footprint will be ancient, broken, stone buildings and broad expanses of contamination.

SALT DOME (GEOTHERMAL ENERGY) 36" X 48"

               Salt domes are bubbles in the earth’s crust that are heated by the earth’s core. They are potential sources for geothermal energy with negligible pollution of the environment.
