Haitian Boat People
Casualties of Contemporary Life
5' x 10'
Oil on canvas
1992
In 1992, he found a dramatically non-traditional exhibition
space in downtown Kingston for a mural project he executed with fellow artist Andy
Jefferson. This project, "Casualties of Contemporary Life," called attention to
the physical, social, and spiritual suffering of downtown residents. Painting in a
burnt-out building (itself a casualty of the 1977 insurrection there), the artists invited
city residents to experience the aesthetic pleasure and emotional and intellectual
satisfaction of first-class art in such an unlikely setting.
