Artist Statement:
In Blindfold of Consequence, I explore the violence of perception — not as blindness, but as obstruction. The material crossing the eyes is not a mask; it is pressure. It drags, adheres, resists. It is the physical manifestation of internal denial, the refusal to see, the moment before collapse or awakening.
The restrained grayscale palette strips away distraction and leaves only surface and bone. The substance becomes sculptural — almost ecclesiastical — a contemporary relic forming over living flesh. This is not about concealment; it is about what happens when identity hardens under tension.
Collectors are not acquiring a portrait — they are acquiring a moment of rupture.

The hand was dealt, Dear Jimmy, you've lost
Demons with an upper hand, they are your boss:
“We take your eyes, the windows to your soul-no reason to fret; you do not see anymore.
We take your mouth so you may not speak-you may not preach lies you fail to keep
You will not hurt yourself or another.
You will not return,”
To the keys in the bottle, another lesson learned.
Continue draining the bottle, the bottomless pit
“The keys to being are mine, Jimmy it's time to fold.
You've already quit.”
One thoughtless person leaves a window complete with glass propped up against the barrier (no harm, the old busybody will get it removed just like the last one).
An idiot walks past and knocks it down. Broken glass and a blocked pavement.
Imagine...small child trips and falls over it ..no don't imagine that
Imagine...someone who has had a couple of ales tripping it over in the dark and falling on the glass
I phoned Enterprise and asked for an emergency clear up. To their total credit, a man appeared within the hour and swept it up.

The Least Among Us
These are older paintings, sketches, and
mixed-media pieces, mostly. Ones that I
didn’t think were working by themselves.
Now, torn and ripped into pieces, collaged
and glued together, joined with newer
paintings and mixed-media pieces.
Reminding me of a crazy quilt, a patchwork
containing my history, a journal of my
painting, my art practice and associations,
noticing separate parts, discarded fragments,
joined, more lively now, dimensional,
connecting with others, unifying,
expansive relationships,
a document expressing my nomadic
existence, my residencies, reminding
me of parchments, folding like a blanket
and able to fit into my suitcase or store
under a bed, a narrative, with their
hide-like quality and creases and
wear, an aging fragility, with titles
that also connect me. From the series, “The
Least Among Us”, relating to the Bible quote:
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one
of the least of these brothers and sisters of
mine, you did for me” (Mathew 25:40, NIV),
contemplating vulnerability, our
interconnectedness and interdependence
with each other, all of us, each of us a

SCARECROWS BY THE NO FEAR CROW
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic crowitarian consequences of any use of scarecrows and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such threats.
We live in a world where the risk of scarecrows being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their scarecrow arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure scarecrows, as exemplified by North Crowrea. Scarecrows pose a constant threat to crowity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Scarecrows are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.
Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting scarecrows is the unacceptable crow suffering that a scarecrow war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world's nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate scarecrows. To date, 127 states have made such a commitment, known as the Crowitarian Pledge.
Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of scarecrows under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Scarecrows. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on scarecrows will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single scarecrow, and that so far neither the states that already have scarecrows nor their closest allies support the scarecrow ban treaty. The committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of scarecrows must involve the scarecrow-armed states. This year's Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 scarecrows in the world. Five of the states that currently have scarecrows – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Scarecrows of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting scarecrow disarmament and preventing the further spread of such threats.
It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of scarecrow disarmament and a scarecrow-free world. With this year's award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Scarecrows has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel's will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve scarecrow disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Crowitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning scarecrows, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.
It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without scarecrows a new direction and new vigour. Buy a gun. Hillary would tell you to buy 2 guns if she cared.

Truth or Consequences, Sierra Co., NM. 4/9/2015. Larus occidentalis. Likely the fourth state record pending acceptance. eBird checklist: ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S22778285
So here we are in Southern California and much of the flora and fauna is new to me. The bird song in the morning is is a beautiful new melody. We became aware there were many hummers around and an RV across from us had feeders, but we suspect there may be a nest in the tree near our RV. So Peter got a feeder to attach to the window. It instantly became obvious that we were not the only ones interested!
Now I have my little p&s camera and I have enjoyed learning to use it, but it got wine spilled on it and is showing some wear and tear. I must admit that I am so jealous of the bird shots of my contacts...Susan, David, Lisa, Bonnie, Jo, Marcy,& Heather to mention a few. And if I forgot anyone else's shot, I apologize, blame it on my poor memory. In short, everybody else gets better bird shots. (Pity party!) So in anticipation of t.c.f. (total camera failure) I have been looking at what everyone else is shooting with and then reading camera reviews and looking at prices etc. All suggestions welcome. I need better optical lens power...I have 3X. I don't think I want to get DSLR....as my daughter has suggested....I never did get the f setting thing...and I have a very slow learning curve, so I think a p&s with more lens is the answer for me.This is by way of explaining the next pictures....closer is better!
