Why have you chosen to participate in Manifest Equality?
The Manifest series of art shows has been an incredibly powerful force not only in supporting social/political change but also has united a very unique group of talented artists from many different styles, ages and locations. Equal rights to all is something I believe very strongly in and am very thankful to be a part of this.
Describe a bit about your submission to the gallery or the creative process you put into it.
I have tendency to create work that is sometimes very sarcastic and cynical. These shows have really challenged me to look past that a bit and create works that are much more positive and hopefully are seen as empowering. The piece I made for the show is of 2 married, interracial gay men holding hands in rainbow combat fatigues looking out at the viewer with their heads held high and without ranks. I wanted to create something that tackled a few topics but in a triumphant manner rather than a spiteful one.
What else would you like to manifest?
Compassion and acceptance of all people and the coming together of ideas that encourage long term intelligent problem solving on a humanitarian and ecological level rather than of unethical and thoughtless short term profits.
