Title: Excavations of the First Dynasty
Medium: acrylic on canvas

I’ve been excited lately about something.
Yesterday I received the certificate of occupancy for MOYOGALLERIA, Austin, Texas.
I will focus on African art.
We will invite African artists for residencies of up to three months.
We will provide the artist with a living and working space.
Captive No More (Part VI)

Tanto, my grandfather’s dog
was busy harassing a lizard
when he caught the scent
of strange bodies.

but he could smell them
within fifty yards from him.

are equal and opposite
to effect the law of balance.

In a landscape mischievously named Nigeria.
