The Embrace by Patricia Piccinini
I am fascinated by artist who image the “real”. The creations Patricia Piccinini have given reason to question what we look like and why we interpret intelligent life to look like us. Every time I see “The Embrace” I a startled a little as I am awakened to a possibility that I don’t think of or more accurately a possibility that I avoid...

Progeny: Deborah Willis an...
The distinction we make about race must be some primal system that forgot to grow up. We’ve all heard ourselves at one time or another claim to be color blind and mean it and be both surprised and ashamed of our private thoughts about people who are not like us. In the last two years we’ve heard people say some of the most outrageous things about the President of the United States and his...
Telling a Story-Little Fil...
Films that are dependent on story and story alone are what I think of as little films.
Claire Danes in Polish Wedding
They are little films because they are not blockbusters. Blockbusters are ordained to be big and successful, little films have to grow in popularity and unfortunately may never be successful. Hannah and her Sisters is one film that I’ve seen a number of times and continue to find...

The “Arts and Business Council of Phoenix” puts on, in my opinion, the best and most efficient awards ceremony.
Schuff Steel’s commitment to The Children’s Museum of Phoenix
The Oscars should take notice. It starts when it is supposed to and ends right on time. Attendees are fed, informed, entertained and energized. The number of art organizations that are being served by the council...
African Masks * Dallas Mus...
I love the “art” of masks. Art may not have been the reason for the creation, but “art” certainly can be the result. On August 22, the Dallas Museum gives us an opportunity to see some examples.
“The African mask is a highly developed and enduring art form. African Masks: The Art of Disguise, an exhibition of approximately fifty objects from the Museum’s collections and on loan from local...
