"This is not to say that there are no brilliant, world-changing young architects and designers out there at this very moment developing the ideas that will transform the way we build and live in cities for the next 100 years. But add to the paradoxes raised by Glazer the paradoxes of working in the 21st century: Technology and global culture allow a limitless exchange of ideas, but they also facilitate instant cooptation and manipulation of those ideas. Never has the world been so ready for grand new ideas—and so willing to convert them into high-priced styles."

From "A New Social Construct" on The Morning News.

visual update

I know this is a bit redundant, but here are some recent pictures of the current endeavor.

David Aron

So I decided to check back with a gallery that I consider an indulgence(with an odd sense of guilt) Little Cakes and checking through some of their old shows I saw Mr. Aron. I don't feel at all thoughful enough to actually say why I liked it. I could say something about color and patterning and it relating to my interests in native and folk art....but we'll just omit all of that . There was no statement available and I can't find any information on him, but check out Little Cakes. They seem like a good bunch.

Though I have to say on a side note, I am really tired of artists turning their work into t-shirts and action figures. It just seems to cheapen the whole thing, lowering art to the level of chuck norris or something. Or am I being anal?

Sneak Preview

I've been stupidly distracted with laundry and writing and avoiding sending out my resume. But here is a sneak preview of a hanging piece I'm working on right now. Aprox. 40''x90''
