I am THRILLED to receive word that this piece was accepted into the July juried exhibition "AMERICA" for Second City Council Gallery in Long Beach!

Juxtaposing contemporary and historic recycled found objects in this assemblage creates a visual metaphor expressing our national systemic malaise. Symbols include wheels within wheels, a tattered Constitution, large rusty screws, dice for risk, an old Ford battery for dependable USA products, unzipped zippers displaying failing male dominated systems, bombs threaten war, a forefather faces away, credit card accumulates debt, flute and nails play notes, a lock blocks access to information. An old jar lid shows we "see through a glass darkly," (1 Corinthians 13) while the gripping claw suggests the greedy clutches of self-appointed, unauthorized proprietary power.

Race Against Time -- completed.

With "Race Against Time" now done, it is temporarily at Many Hands Gallery in Old Town Eureka (please go visit it and other pieces.) Later in August, it will be at Humboldt Arts Council -- at the Morris Graves Museum of Art where it will be auctioned for their annual Autumn Auction. Now on to the next project!
