I am tired but this is a good morning. We are in DC pushing for the Jobs Bill be voted on and unemployment benefits to be extended. Money, finances, resources, needs vs wants... the haves and the have nots. All of this has been the tension between peoples and powers since the beginning of time. We are the 99% vs the the top 1%. The one in the room with the most apples vs those who have next to no apples. *sigh
In the art pieces I am still trying to figure out a way to convey all of this tension in a compelling and powerful way that isn't redundant. Will moving the hearts of Chester PA be the priority as I work on each piece or will I be able to create a dynamic narrative for Chester and the world around it? I often get the impression that Chester sees itself collectively as an island when in fact it is a victim of a national history...scratch that... it is the victim of a global history. From my Chester street to the nations of the world...is that to big of a story to tell? I imagine the Lord will give me wisdom on how to take on such a feat successfully. Yes yes. Heading off to serve breakfast to some courageous activist.
*Forgive any spelling errors... I'm tired :)
