I have rarely enjoyed an art exhibition more. The subjects are simple and colorful. The multiple mirrors not only create an illusion of the infinite but maximize the color aspect. The installation shown on cover of this book in the gift store was not part of the exhibit I saw. The pumpkin was instead displayed in a polka dot room.
Artist Whitney Holbourn works on a new mural at 1101 West Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky.
From WFPL, 89.3 FM, on July 5, 2020:
"Large mural that includes faces of Breonna Taylor, David McAtee unveiled" by Jared Bennett
A new mural that includes the faces of Breonna Taylor and David McAtee now stands at the corner of 11th and Main streets in Louisville.
The mural was officially unveiled Sunday. Taylor and McAtee appear alongside other Black people killed by law enforcement, including George Floyd, Elijah McClain and Sandra Bland, as well as Ahmaud Arbery, who was shot to death while jogging. Two white men are charged with his murder.
Braylyn Resko Stewart is one of the three artists who painted the mural, along with Whitney Holbourn and Andrew Norris. Stewart said the artists worked for weeks to design and eventually paint the scene, which covers the entire side of the building housing Trifecta Event Productions and is visible from the expressway.
Stewart said they wanted the work to be large so that visitors or passersby will be “engulfed” by the faces of victims of police and racist violence.
“By being engulfed by the size and scope of the mural, maybe it will humble yourself a little bit, and take yourself back and realize that these are big beautiful faces on the wall. They are not faces of anger or fear or anything negative,” Stewart said. “We want this to be pure love, we want you to smile back as soon as you see it.”
The No Justice No Peace Louisville Choir celebrated the occasion with an original song meant to encourage people fighting for racial justice.
Choir member Natalie Witherspoon said the song was a complement to the new piece of street art. The faces on the mural made Witherspoon think of other works of public art such as the painting of Breonna Taylor on a basketball court in Annapolis, Maryland. She hopes the new mural here will inspire more people “to do justice and do justice work everywhere with whatever tools you have to use.”
The combination of music and visual art make Witherspoon think of the collective effort people across the country are making to ensure a new voice of protest gets heard.
“Wherever people have space with whatever medium that they have that they are using it to send a collective message is grand and it is one that everybody can see,” Witherspoon said.

Hey Kiddies!
I got to be a make-up artist for a new opera that debuted in Winnipeg, called "No Masque for Good Measure". A friend was supposed to do it, but as soon as he heard that the main characters are drag queens, he suggested that I would be better suited for the job. I also got to supply the wigs. The costume designer had some headpieces for the performance, but when she saw the big wigs, she scraped them in favour of big wiggery! Everyone was very pleased with my work and I was inundated with compliments. It was a GREAT experience!

Wanda's Adventure Begins.
Pursuing a golden statuette believed to belong to a lost civilization, Wanda ventures deep into a tropical rainforest in search of an abandoned temple spoken of only in legends. After days of a grueling journey, battling thick mud, raging floodwaters, and dangerous predators, she reaches regions completely cut off from civilization. As she pushes deeper through the ancient ruins, she begins to uncover evidence that the temple truly exists. But the secrets hidden within the heart of the jungle foreshadow a danger far greater than a simple treasure hunt.

This sphere book has colorful 'pages' that are each 4 inches in diameter. A work in progress, so far it's a blank book; however lightning may hit me any day and I may fill its pages with calligraphy text. I'm mulling several ideas but nothing yet has quite struck the right chord. All suggestions welcome. The book may be shown with or without the accompanying display cup.
This form is intriguing so I'm also considering using it to create objects other than books. Stay tuned. ;o)
