I Breathe with You! @ Umass

A four hour bus ride turned 7 later, experiencing fellow riders with foresight and food while my own growling stomach later, a cold blustery walk later, ingesting a hot pho at turbo speed later, another blustery walk later, I breathed with you, truly…
for a cause close to my heart and some really warm and welcoming folks at Augusta Savage Gallery, Umass! Thank you Terry Janour and the rest of the team for bringing artists from all corners of the globe to speak their truth on the matter.

“See Me
Feel Me
Touch Me
Heal Me

Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinion
From you, I get the story”

Lately there has been much senseless bloodshed over an age old prejudice that simply won’t go away.  “I can’t breathe” were the last words of Eric Garner when put in chokehold by NYPD.  Cops across the country are being shot down randomly in retaliation.  to address the prejudice and recognize that the color of blood is always red. Color Vision is a group of 4 canvases.  Each rendered in Ishihara vision chart style inscribed with words that every person feels and can identify with.
