"The Artful Agent," Still Life With Cardboard Bed
Note how, in this piece, the ceiling is not visible and yet we can still find the "triangular corner," his constant visual signature. The central nature of the cardboard piece used as a bed by some anonymous squatter is both a scream for humanity and a casual wink at the artist's periodic forays into Cubism. The mustard, the empty bag of chips scream, "Here was humanity. WHERE IS HUMANITY NOW?"
Note how the pale white door fades into oblivion on the right, revealed only by the lock mechanism. I look at this piece and I am...devastated. All I can say is "Bravo!" and DUDE, SEND ME MORE PICTURES.

Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com
