In this time of chaos, protests and murders

Image
  8/29/20 A time of chaos, of protests, murders of   black men and women at the hands of over zealous police, protests, riots, COVID-19, a president who sows chaos and encourages discord amongst citizens, it all becomes disheartening, and another call to march, to protest mistreatment, racial hatred, bigotry, and on and on. I am tired and angry that yet another Black man has lost his life, and the calls and protests fall of deaf ears. I hear the response; We will study the situation and   get back to you or We will form a committee…   I realized that if I were Black this would most likely be my reality- where everyday there would be the very possibility of some   sort of slight- a look, a gesture- or the taking of my life, my freedom, my ability to move about unencumbered.

Projections using MAX

"M Riding in Landscape" 8/14/2020 Screen grab- from window projection I was raised around cameras so it became my way of seeing, of navigating my surroundings.

Perfect way to view images in the time of covid 19 and social distancing.
