She's so serious and meticulous playing around with and mixing various glasses of water colored by food coloring and a little water dropper. She was our little helpers when trying to do our fun art/photography experiments.
Note the food coloring at the corner of her mouth. I think she was secretly swigging the green when we weren't looking :P
Jumping on my motorcycle, I spun off down the road, my hair still wet from the shower. For some strange reason, my girlfriend's words shot through my head—a little speech she had delivered to me the other day when I dithered at the prospect of going to her parent’s for dinner.
“I can’t live this way, Victor,” she had said, her face flushed. She sat naked at the edge of my bed, her arms folded. We had finished making love. It was the most unusual pillow talk I had ever experienced with her. “Victor, I want to build a life with you, but I need to be with someone who is grounded and secure. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that you’re following a dream and I admire you for it. Why do you think I fell in love with you? One should give their dreams a real shot, but if it doesn’t come to fusion…well…there’s no shame in admitting defeat. Hey, I’m not asking you to give up what you love. You will be happy in knowing that you have a secure job at my father’s company, and in your spare time you can paint…as a hobby. There’s noting wrong with that. Anyway, art is a spiritual venture, and you shouldn’t soil it in the quest for money. It seems like a ridiculous oxymoron, doesn’t it? Imagine an artist in a three-piece suit, with a money changer around his waist standing before an easel. Look, I won’t be made to feel like a villain. I have supported you through a lot in this relationship. My parent’s want me to dump you. Did I? No, I stood by you. Now why don’t you stand by us? If this art thing doesn’t work out I think you should consider a real career—one that is more down to earth”

I do not wish to be an artist, I only wish that art enables me to be.
– Noah Purifoy, 1963
Born in Snow Hill, Alabama in 1917, Noah Purifoy lived and worked most of his life in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, California, where he died in 2004. He received an undergraduate degree from Alabama State Teachers College in 1943 and a graduate degree from Atlanta University in 1948. In 1956, just shy of his 40th birthday, Purifoy earned a BFA degree from Chouinard, now CalArts.
His earliest body of sculpture, constructed out of charred debris from the 1965 Watts rebellion, was the basis for 66 Signs of Neon, the landmark 1966 group exhibition on the Watts riots that traveled throughout the country. As a founding director of the Watts Towers Art Center, Purifoy knew the community intimately. His 66 Signs of Neon, in line with the postwar period’s fascination with the street and its objects, constituted a Duchampian approach to the fire-molded alleys of Watts. This strategy profoundly impacted artists such as David Hammons, John Outterbridge and Senga Nengudi. For the 20 years that followed the rebellion, Purifoy dedicated himself to the found object, and to using art as a tool for social change.
In the late 1980s, after 11 years of public policy work for the California Arts Council, where Purifoy initiated programs such as Artists in Social Institutions, which brought art into the state prison system, Purifoy moved his practice out to the Mojave desert. He lived for the last 15 years of his life creating ten acres full of large-scale sculpture on the desert floor. Constructed entirely from junked materials, this otherworldly environment is one of California’s great art historical wonders. No Title
