Artist's Comments

This weekend I went to the open house at Maryland Institute of Art (MICA)....I loved it, so going there in the Spring.

While I was there though I spent time at my grandmothers because she lives in Maryland. While I was there we went through a lot of her old photo’s and what she salvaged from my great grand parents house that no one else wanted. In these photo’s was a large amount of sketches and drawings my great grandfather had done while he was in WWII. I fell in love with his dry humor...and the moment I took this out of the old and dusty box I was intranced. Seeing my sparkling eyes my grandmother gave me the drawing. My great grandfather was a medic in the war and had traveled a great deal during the war, the drawing is filled with places he had been. On top of the drawing my grandmother had given me the rosary beads he had taken with him to the war.

You might know me. But you don't know that you might know me. So if you don't know that you might know me, then how can you know me? Circular logic = headache
