Go As You Mean to Live – The Ribbon Paintings
We live in a field of energy that radiates through us and everything else. We take that energy and focus it. That focus becomes the world we inhabit. In the Ribbon Paintings, that energy is represented by radiating stripes. And that focus is represented by sinuous ribbons. The power of this is that we have a choice about where we put our minds and how we live our lives. The Ribbon Paintings are about choices we make, to be either xenophobic or xenophilic, to either be afraid of strangers or to find the joy in them.
I know the power we have as the disaster of the Trump administration threatens the lives of migrants, black people, poor people, women – it's already killing women – and so many others.
The show is called “Go As You Mean to Live".
This is a philosophy of protest: something is harmful – it needs to change. No need to wait – we can live that change now. Rather than protesting anti-aging, fundamentalism, racism, misogyny, misandry, and homophobia, I invite you to a world where human differentiation is celebrated, where our beautiful aging bodies, our queerness, our ancestral home, and our pleasure are honored.
We have the power of that radiating energy, we have the power of those sinuous ribbons, we have the power of culture, we have the power of protest.
Culture is deep and lasting.
Protest is the voice of fairness.
Use culture and protest together to bring a deep and lasting fairness.
