If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Conceptual, Drawing, Painting

About my artwork: My artwork is about social issues and narrative. I change styles and materials according to the project so there is not a consistent look for more than three years at a time. There are recurring themes over the years that focus on the endangered environment, natural history and biology. More recently my art has been about childhood, eating disorders, consumerism and global warming.

Artists I like: Breughel, Egon Shiele, Max Beckman, Tom Friedman, Barry McGee, Marcel Dzama, Yun-Fei-Ji, Yoshitoro Nara, Kiki Smith, Louise Bourgeois, Ana Mendieta, James Castle, Tony Fitzpatrick

Interests: reading, writing, film, museums, art collecting, fashion, cooking, hiking, wildlife, theater

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Louise Bourgeois at Guggenheim, Frida Kahlo at San Francisco Art Museum and Anish Kapoor at ICA in Boston

I have had a very interrupted time with the election and other matters and want to work hard most of next week on my graphic novel. Disnarda got a bad cold so progress is slow on the "Peaceable Kingdom" in wood. Let me know if there is a day next week that works for you for lunch/ studio visit. Give me two choices of days. I know Herb wants me to give you the book he bought for you.

At 12:43 on October 23, 2008, Karen Moss said…: I'm glad you appreciate her work. She collects doll houses and made an entire village of hundreds of them in a dark room. The only light is from inside the houses so it looks like a real village at night with the widows all lit up. I had never known about this aspect of her work before.
Best,
Karen

At 19:55 on October 4, 2008, Karen Moss said…: Hi Manoj,

Thank you for explaining about the problem Hussein had with censorship of his paintings. My husband remebers reading aout this in the newspaper. I visited the erotic temples of Kaharajho and saw lots of naked Goddesses! Even in the US some people might find this place shocking. Some Christian groups here are in favor of censorship of art and books.

We would like to visit India ,maybe this winter but not sure yet.
Please tell me some things about your family. You are learning English and it's good to practice. I think I can understand most of what you said.
Best,
Karen
