In a prophetic moment, the New Art Group pulled together an exhibit for the Hamilton Street Gallery called, “Bound/Brook”. The works in the exhibit highlighted the various viewpoints one can take living with being trapped by naturally caused catastrophic weather or by life’s unexpected changes. Hurricane Sandy decimated New Jersey in the last week and I have had to survive and prosper under less than optimal circumstances. Even though, there are others who fared much worse and many who have no idea that anything unusual happened here.

These works are simply the few pieces I did to express how disaster happens, and then everyone moves on – including the natural world.
