About the Program

This piece is a series of postures and tableux, using visual stimula as metaphor of growing line-ups at food banks and the appalling numbers of the homeless.

As a performance artist I have done it all, seen it all, and lived through most of it. My basic philosophy through life has been, LAUGH CLOWN, LAUGH. With the state, and I mean STATE, of things in our society and government, it is often hard to find anything to laugh about. Living in a country with legislated poverty just isn't funny.
