Can you tell this week’s blogs are spontaneous musings, rather than carefully researched topics?

Blame it on being overwhelmed daily by ever more frightening news, on struggling to get my body back into this timezone, on pre-occupation with the upcoming exhibit.

With regard to the news, Politico summarized it for me: 

With regard to time-zone: When I am overtired I am even more susceptible to questionable  humor: so this struck me, when found on some site, maybe it was Slate:  Who wears it better?

And this on the day the refugees were condemned to stay in Syria.

With regard to the exhibit – could I have chosen a more poignant time to create art about refugees? You tell me.

What I am telling you: Please join me on Sunday, February 5th, from 2-4 pm for a reception and short talk about the work. The exhibit is at Camerawork Gallery, http://www.thecameraworkgallery.org

There will be matted montages (limited editions) and one beautifully framed image that is open to silent bidding. Those latter proceeds will go in their entirety to Mercy Corps for their refugee program.  The piece is called REST. (Something we might faintly remember when looking back 4 years from now…. )
