Like the website that hosts it, this blog is only concerned with using art and brief texts to uncover the bias and other limitations of thought conditioned by memory and tradition, thus also revealing how this largely unacknowledged tribal egotism that affects all human beings creates and sustains the systemic disorder and violence of the world in which we all live.

Without a radical awakening to the immense distance between our mental and social reality and the truth, we are condemned to continue living in the same cruel division, conflict, and sorrow to which we ourselves sustain with our personal memories, thoughts, and desires.

A Sumi Ink and Graphite Vaccine for the Mental COVID-19 Infection

Ingest slowly in order to get the full effect, and do so at your own risk…

(These nineteen COVID-19 paintings were made during a few days of feverish work early this month. Since the beginning of this global ordeal I’ve been trying to empathize with its multiple components: the victims and their friends and relatives, firemen, policemen, doctors, nurses and other hospital staff, morticians, researchers, and the fear, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and impatience felt by just about everyone around the globe. Very much in my mind and heart have been the fragility of the human organism and the powerful rebuke this mysterious novel virus is issuing to all of us humans for our reckless and sustained disruption of the equally fragile web of life that is truly all that is.)

VACUNA DE TINTA CHINA Y GRAFITO PARA TRATAR LA INFECCION MENTAL PRODUCIDA POR EL COVID 19

Atencion, la vacuna debe ingerirse lentamente para obtener el efecto completo. Tome noticia, por favor, que todo riesgo es suyo.
(Estas diecinueve pinturas suscitadas por la irrupción del COVID-19 se hicieron durante unos pocos días de febril trabajo a principios de este mes. Desde el comienzo de esta crisis global, he intentado empatizar con sus múltiples componentes: las víctimas y sus amigos y familiares, bomberos, policías, investigadores científicos, médicos, enfermeras y otro personal de hospital, morgue y funeraria; y tambien el miedo, la soledad, la ansiedad, la depresión y la impaciencia que practicamente todo ser humano esta actualmente sintiendo. En estos dias, siento la mente y el corazón plenamente abierto a la fragilidad del organismo humano y a la poderosa reprimanda que este misterioso y novel virus nos está dirigiendo a todos los humanos por nuestro irracional y sostenido desbaratamiento de la biosfera cuyo equilibrio es tan fragil como lo somos nosotros, sus irresponsables dependientes.)
