Opening reception Saturday January 29th 1pm to 4pm Born to a father, a political refugee, imprisoned for his nationality, shot through the chest, saved by a stranger who subsequently bore me. As an infant, homeless, perplexed by the thud of bombs exploding. Later, taunted as an enemy alien, separated by authorities from my family, crossing borders illicitly, mounted police trampling me underfoot, arrested for possession of recorded music. Is it any wonder that I discovered release in an engagement with art. Is it any wonder that I found my voice, on the one hand, in daydreams of the purely aesthetic, and, on the other, in the working thorough of images of dirt and decay.
