		<description><![CDATA[One of the latest contributions to New York City&#8217;s Public parks truly carries within it the democratic spirit. Designed by Deconstructivist architects Diller +Scofidio, the High Line is akin to the humor and joy of the Park de LaVilette. And much like Mitterand&#8217;s City of Light program for Paris, the High Line exemplifies a Utopian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This  past winter was exceptional for me as I did not retreat into the malaise due to the lack of light.  I happen to love to collect all things.  And one winter evening as i took a visual inventory, I realized lighting happens to be one of &#8220;those things&#8221;.  I&#8217;ve decided to share a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week I joined several hundreds of New York City&#8217;s art crowd mafia at The Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial opening. As I arrived after 9 pm the atmosphere was still hot and steamy. Unfortunately the heat was not radiating from the majority of the work produced by the artists.  It was the result [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friends Willie and Billie and I were heading back to Brooklyn driving south on 3rd Avenue just below St. Marks Place. We were at one of those places where cross sections cut diagonally into the famous gridiron of New York City, a wedge in the urban fabric. Always difficult to navigate as a pedestrian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have always enjoyed demonstrations of the perverse, tragic, sad and explicitly graphic visuals in all forms of art. European culture by way of ancient mythological allegory exemplify these concepts in classical works and are at the core of this modern heritage. Abstracting terror and the ensuing emotion to the highest level can have  rapturous  [...]]]></description>

Like the ice beginning to melt, permitting room for seedlings to blossom, it is a great time to be around my studio as ideas, unlocked, begin to flow uninterrupted.  I tend to be more flexible, and everything and everyone can do [...]]]></description>
