In the background can be seen Exchange Station. The station was built by the London and North Western Railway and opened in 1884. It saw its last train in 1969 and the site is now a car park.
Also visible is a statue of Oliver Cromwell. This was later moved from this location and can now be found in Wythenshawe Park.

Artist statement:
Don’t use the pomegranate inhospitably, a stranger that has come so far to pay his respects to thee. Plant it against the side of thy house, nail it close to the wall. In this manner it thrives wonderfully with us, and flowers beautifully, and bears fruit this hot year. I have twenty-four on one tree... Doctor Fothergill says, of all trees this is most salutiferous to mankind.
—English Quaker Peter Collinson in a 1762 letter to botanist John Bartram of Philadelphia.
Grenade is the French word for pomegranate. Grenadine is a blood-red syrup originally made from pomegranate juice and sugar. Pomegranates are native to Iran and have been cultivated in Egypt since they were introduced by Hyksos invaders in the 1600s BCE. Spanish invaders brought pomegranate plants to “The New World” in the 1500s CE. Throughout human history and in nearly all religions, the pomegranate has been an important symbol of fertility and a vital medicinal food.

Freedom Burning

Frame: Black, matt lacquer, shadow box under glass
“Freedom Burning” illustrates the erosion of American freedom in the Nuclear Age. The base of the mushroom cloud represents the destruction of the Native American dream to live peacefully on their own land, the land the white Europeans took away from them.
The Iwo Jima soldiers at the top of the cloud are contemporary icons, representing the need to fight to preserve our freedom. Juxtaposed against the mushroom cloud, their purpose in the painting becomes ironic, since post-World War II wars have been more often about protecting America’s position as a superpower—at the expense of both American and non-American lives.
“Patriotism,” in the words of Bertrand Russell, “is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.”
As in George Orwell’s prophetic novel, “1985,” Americans are told by today’s politicians that nuclear weapons are a necessary evil because “war is peace.” “Freedom Burning” unveils the hypocrisy of this myth.
The flag burns just as the American dream of freedom burns each time an unjust war is fought in the name of politics.

“Freedom Burning” was originally created for an exhibition in protest of the 1990 Flag Amendment at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Says: "Foucault is gay"
Graffitti Njalsgade
Michel Foucault (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl fuko]) (15 October 1926 – 25 June 1984) was a French philosopher and historian. He held a chair at the Collège de France with the title "History of Systems of Thought," and also taught at the University of California, Berkeley.
Foucault is best known for his critical studies of social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, the human sciences, and the prison system, as well as for his work on the history of human sexuality. Foucault's work on power, and the relationships among power, knowledge, and discourse has been widely discussed. In the 1960s Foucault was often associated with the structuralist movement. Foucault later distanced himself from structuralism. While Foucault is typically characterized as a post-structuralist and postmodernist, he personally rejected the postmodernist and post-structuralist labels, preferring to classify his thought as a critical history of modernity, rooted in Kant.[1]

MEDIA STATEMENT: Gloucester and Camden residents and their supporters including iconic Australian actor Michael Caton bring their battle against coal seam gas to Sydney for the Annual General Meeting of AGL on Thursday 23 October 2014.
The residents are calling on AGL to immediately suspend its coal seam gas operations in Gloucester.
The group greeted shareholders as they arrived at the venue, informing them about AGL’s involvement in coal seam gas.
Residents also attended the AGM to ask questions about the company’s record of pollution incidents and licence breaches as well as the viability of proceeding with the Gloucester project in a volatile environment of strong community opposition.
There have been more than ten people arrested in the last 48 hours at the site where AGL is trying to begin fracking coal seam gas in Gloucester. The company brought its equipment trucks into the site at 4am on Monday morning.
The community have vowed to continue taking peaceful direct action to interrupt and delay the coal seam gas fracking over concerns it threatens human health, existing agriculture and tourism businesses, and the community’s water supply.
The fracking of four coal seam gas wells at Gloucester was approved by NSW Resources Minister Anthony Roberts in August 2014. This is the first coal seam gas fracking approved by the current NSW Government. AGL is planning to drill and frack 110 coal seam gas wells in the first stage of operations in Gloucester.

I just added the top broadside (2013) to my collection. I placed it in an album alongside the bottom one (1987). Love the juxtaposition. I totally agree with both statements.
Though I was approaching with sadness at the loss of the Occupy camps I saw two men carrying very big black & white flags through the sidewalks between the two parks.
I was very happy to see them and hope more will do the same.
Another message from the artist James De La Vega, written on the sidewalk. This one is a bit more difficult to see in the photo. It reads, "Slavery has yet to perish -De La Vega" - it's a message I haven't seen from him before, and it's uncharacteristically grim. Many of his more recent messages have seemed that way.
I came upon this one when it was fresh. I had walked down this way a few hours earlier, and it had been devoid of messages. Setting up this shot had the usual challenges of framing, but I also wanted to incorporate something that would give a feel for the city environment that the message was in. I was pleased with a few that included joggers and bikers near the message, but then I saw a dog walker who had just gone to a water fountain with his dog. (At this particular fountain, there was an additional fountain near the bottom for the dog to drink from and splash in.) They began to walk in the direction of the message, and the rest was a matter of timing.
While I do not intend for this to be a statement equating pets with slavery, it seemed rather fitting to have this unenthusiastic-looking dog getting tugged along on a leash, stepping over the chalk words.

Tutorial #1 from Rachel Denbow's summer art journal class.
I feel like I was trying to hard on this, the composition feels a little off to me and normally that's something that comes pretty naturally. Sometimes when I work on something I feel like is "for real" (i.e., not just messing around) I lose the spirit of the work.
