The Moody Center for the Arts in Houston celebrated its 5 year anniversary with an auction in which I was honored to donate a work of art to (pictured in the image above, left-hand side). The mixed media piece, titled IMMIGRANT BLUES #2: THAWRA is part of a larger series, IMMIGRANT BLUES.
#4 and #5 are in the possession of the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. #2 is in the possession of whoever won the bid at the Moody auction, which only leaves me with #1 and #3 right now.
When embarking on this series, I did have in mind that it's a theme I might want to revisit... forever? But now I'm not sure I'm feeling them immigrant blues no more. Will it last, or is this alleviation merely temporary?
I suppose only time will tell.
