Durga
Burnhard channels native spirit totems in "Sacrifice
to Artemis"
What
could be more together than a vulture and some ungulate breakfast? |

"Beau
Belle Douze" is a Warholian grid pattern mystery
by Michael Bishop.
If
this woman were a soup can I could understand her better.
Either
way, it's tomatoes. |

Aha.
At last something I can sink my teeth into.
There
goes another bicuspid.
John
Byer has taken bones and logs and created
"Wood
Henge"
Little
does he know. Or you for that matter - that on the edge of the
parking lot at the mall in Kingston is a ring of giant boulders
that I call"Mall Henge." A remarkable geological
formation at the level of the box store roof tops along 9W -
that provides the greatest view of the Catskills around, perfect
for bongo parties, and is also an excellent landing pad for aliens.
Ask
me about it. $1 |

When
it comes to gassing up, E G Cleveland has no
comparison. "Untitled" is hardly the
way to say it. But if you have read a few of my safaris,
you know how I feel about untitled artworks. Gnarly, disgruntled,
stinky, mad and nasty.
Give
it a name for chrissakes!
And
check the oil while you're at it, Gilmore. |

Wendy
Drolma is just killing me with her sadistically twangy
"Untitled" mask.
How
about "Hubble Telescope?"
How
about "Yo-Yo from The Black Hole?"
How
about "Phantom of the Shandaken Theatrical Society Playhouse?"
Wendy...
Name it!
|

Now
that's better.
Lynn
Fliegel doesn't waste paint or waste words either. She
had the decency to name her painting
"Abstract #2."
I couldn't
have said it better myself.
|

Dana
Fraser has out done herself. Not only did she create
and extrude the child, she made a painting about him, too. "Chance"
From
a child of the same name.
|

Paul
Haran has taken an ordinary electric fan finger guard
and turned it into a mythic mandala.
"Mayan
Life" is the kind of title I advise artists to select. |

It
just so happened that as I was doing my art safari thing, there
was a video workshop from the INDY program going on.
Local
kids were studiously editing on some of the latest computer technology
and creating what looks like damn good programs. |

James
Knight cuts loose with "Absolute"
Read
it while his fingers do the dancing.
The
manual approach to automatic writing (a la Marcel Duchamp and
Man Ray) takes flight as he frees the feet from fetters.
|

Shelli
Lipton (wasn't she in the Mod Squad?) has the kind of
sense of humor that is not appreciated by homeland security baggage
handlers at today's paranoid airports.
Sign
her "Petition To End Marijuana Prohibition"
if you want to end up in Sing Sing. And don't bogart that joint,
either.
|

Ingrid
Mazerat has seen the light... "Esopus Lighthouse"
to be precise.
She
and Ken Whyte share the solo room for a conundrum laced duo solo
exhibition experience.
And
the lighthouse is also an experience to be enjoyed. Be sure to
visit at low tide if you want to walk the nature trail out to
the point.

Ken
Whyte captures the rustic essence of country life in
this photo of a barn door. |

Cheri
Nelson proves once again that good things come in small
packages.
Unlike
diamond bracelets, however, these objet d'art "Right
Here" have very modest price tags. |

Salvatore
Scalisi does not name the unnameable, though he unwittingly
incurs the wrath of Dave for giving his work the title "Untitled"
These
are clearly square polyurethane pizzas with turquoise anchovies,
and a sunset egg dropping to the twilight zone horizon.
Take
that Salvatore! I will grab you by the shoulders and shake you
Italian style next time I see you. |

Fred
Woller either chose not to title his Francis Baconian
portrait of a Prussian soldier, or he actually wanted it to be
called "Untitled"
Amazing
what a well-aimed cannonball can do to a fellow's head. |
| Well...
Da dggita diggita diggita... that's all folks!
See ya next time. Back
to the safari! |
