This is a 3D Collage or photo essay/collage it uses electronics some from a
Christmas card ( hiden from view ) that plays musical theam's like Noel & some
devices that twinkel a few strands of small lights glowing behind the cut out life
sizes Child's image made by enlarging a color magizine photo glueing it to a cu
t out silowett duplicat made of sheetof a of alumunum ( to prevent it from warping )
that fits the inside dementions of a frame made the size of a mans shirt box covered
with as many demonations of forign curency that were available at the time.
The consept came from combining the deeply moving comments of Ms. Aubrey
Hepburn as see on TV during an interview a year before her death from cancer.
And the text of a very very cruel joke told by a jaded & boorish pseudo hipster at a
reseption held for a small group of Swiss Authors, poets and novelist given on the
ocasion of there reading poetry & excerprs of there novels at the NY YMCA earlier that
evening it was sponsered by the Swiss Embassy held in the privet home of the ambasidor
at that time in NYC
The joke is about: how to tell when on the beach of SanTrois Pey in sonny Southern
France which one is Ethiopian ( an actual African ) There the ones with there Roluxes
around there waists.
No one laughed but him but I think that was actually in deference to my presence because
he made the rounds telling it over and over & got a few stifled chuckles and all though
not the life of the party my self nor any one suggested he be thrown out for such savage
bad taste.
I met many good people at the party waiting for my friend, one of the Swiss authors to
show up all evening that summer , I also met the Ambassador of Austria also a poet.
but that is another story

What a Hypocrisy
By 1988 50% of all fertile female native American women were sterilized
( source Women of All Red Nations a UN - N.G.O.) by there "family "doctors
many without even ever being told. That was & is an act of cultural racism
( We all must be accountable for ) at best and profound example of the still
rampant institutional racism in this country as act of government policy that
could be protested but HIV-aids and many other examples of the bigger
picture more important facts of life eclipsed this and many other stories the
grater shame & perfidy, is it is an on going audiatude that " They" are baby
machines living off the government "they" have too many kids!

What on earth should people do just die out for you on Que. ?
So now so called whites want to "do a sweat lodge" ritual and I suppose instructed
by a Japanese anthropology student ( from Palo Alto CA or MIT who will lead the
Paoite ceremony at Pueblo Disney just before every one does a power lunch
munching on sacred blue Corn chips and McDonnell Clone Buffalo Burgers
in there Air conditioned "Space suits provided by NASA so they don't suffer Heat
stroke as they check there portfolios via Solar powered wireless laptops as they
take pictures of themselves naked in front of the photo holograms of sacred the
Anasazi petragliphs while spouting quotes from Iron horse Sitting Bull & chief
Dan George Crazy Horse & Malcolm X.
