A year ago February, my gallery show #bodylanguage closely followed my FEM September exhibition. It was a mix of every style of art I’ve pursued for the last few years, including Boxed (guitar installation) that I had created in the 1990s and had never showed. Boxed is a time capsule of drawings that echoed my current work, and pens and paint brushes from that decade. Not shown in this photo, is a series of close-up black and white portraits from that time period entitled This Life Is More Than Just a Read Through. The digital collage of renewable energy Electric Hollywood is flanked by two paintings, solar panels with nudes from a live drawing session in New York. Two blue paintings on the right wall, of water and air in figurative form, are the first paintings I made on Styrofoam, and are currently showing in East Harlem, New York. The large portrait of a father and child is of Ady Barkan and his first child, a vocal advocate for Medicare for All.
