Blog Post I've sent a letter @mayormcginn who invoked ridiculous land use codes to authorize police hassling of protestors at Westlake Park, a public space in the middle of corporate merchants. Westlake is the most frequent site of public protest. - All From the Watershed

limited time MWC cd available
The latest compact disk recording of Medieval Women's Choir (Seattle) is now available, featuring my artwork,
A New Song In Praise of Peace
acrylic media on board, 40.5 x 50.7 cm, 2009
Inspired by the processional banners and new art approaches of the Italian Renaissance this painting was commissioned by Margriet Tindemans for the Medieval Women’s Choir compact disk, Laude Novella. The praise songs of St. Francis of Assisi, and works by Margriet Tindemans and Peter Siebert for the choir invite reflection on our environment and its evolution as a dynamic system. Through the painting process of acrylic media on board, I have been experimenting with a textured material which mimics ceramic crackle glaze. To incorporate movement and drama within a temporal awareness, I chose yellow and azure backgrounds, colors which appear in the banners and paintings of the quattracento. I also use mineral pigments which, through their iridescence, refer to the geology and biochemisty of our world. These materials are somewhat fragile but allow complexity in both surface texture and background variation, inviting comparison with the diversity and interdependency of ecosystems.

Here are the texts for the works:
The Slave Trade Was Free Trade: A Tale of Money
[image is of Brazil overlayed with images of the slave trade]
... morality and religion ... both allow that if men can make money by stealing men and women, and working them up into sugar, rice and tobacco, they may innocently continue the practice, and he who condemns it is an unworthy citizen, and a disturber of the church. Money is the measure of morality, and the success or failure of slavery, as a money making system, determines with many whether the thing is virtuous, or villainous, and whether it should be maintained or abolished. --Frederick Douglass
The Slave Trade Was Free Trade: A Tale of Struggle
[image is of Carribean Sea overlayed with images of the slave trade]
Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. . . . If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
–Frederick Douglass
