Student in White
May 31, 2003

Woman With Tumors
April 30, 2003
acrylic and collage on canvas, 20" x 20"

This is an old painting based on an older drawing that got a reworking in 2003. The idea is that a cancer is just cells that continue to reproduce unchecked so that they smother everything in their way. You might have to zoom in to see the buildings growing down her neck.

Discussion at Convergence Center
September 5, 2000
acrylic and mixed on canvas, 20" x 20"

This is a scene I was a part of in the days leading up to the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles and the protests that went with it.

Tom Hayden spoke with a group of protesters in a small, hot, and sweaty room of the LA convergence center. The California State Senator, who was put on trial for his role in the protests outside the DNC convention in Chicago it 1968, reminded protesters that all change comes from the streets, but we shouldn't forget the progress that can be made through politics. "When the movement subsides, the concessions disappear."

Medea Benjamin stopped by to briefly join the conversation.
