The Fabulous @trophysophie making her entrance at MOMA PS1, today -killer show! + Greater New York is not to be missed.

Found myself at the Albany Airport with my flight being hour’s late🤨 and wondering around came upon the Beautiful Work of Eric Wolf! A goodly number of pieces too.

My current studio in Barichara Columbia, inspiring. And then after checking into the news media from the States, which I avoided for awhile, the attached work in progress ensued. Mr. Pig, Scrotum Face, ……. * * #drawing #pencildrawing #politicalart #presidential #lyingshitbag

Hooded Nation The American Experience has been usurped by the few over the many. Hooding is the placing of a hood over the entire head of a prisoner.[1] Hooding is widely considered to be a form of torture; one legal scholar considers the hooding of prisoners to be a violation of international law, specifically the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions, which demand that persons under custody or physical control of enemy forces be treated humanely. Hooding can be dangerous to a prisoner's health and safety.[2] It is considered to be an act of torture when its primary purpose is sensory deprivation during interrogation; it causes "disorientation, isolation, and dread."[3][4] According to the International Committee of the Red Cross, hooding is used to prevent a person from seeing, to disorient them, to make them anxious, to preserve their torturer's anonymity, and to prevent the person from breathing freely. In 1997, the United Nations Committee Against Torture had concluded that hooding constituted torture, a position it reiterated in 2004 after the committee's special rapporteur had "received information on certain methods that have been condoned and used to secure information from suspected terrorists."[5] Hooding is a common prelude to execution . . #politicalart #resist #march #beseenbeheard #painting #drawing #congress
