People With No Names - The Undocumented #27

What could be more quotidian than doing dishes...a ritual cleansing of vessels.  I worked on this for several days before I really noticed that everyone is doing dishes in big plastic bowls,  not plumbed sinks.   Plumbing is not necessary for cleansing; it is the water that is vital.

Works In Progress #6

Okay, here is the next stage of the same 'Doing Dishes/Washing Holy Vessels' painting. And here is another thought I have about staying open for as long as possible: When we remain open, we can continue to gather information freely, and not get too committed to the position of things. Once we commit to a position, we tend to hang on to it, EVEN WHEN WE REALIZE IT IS WRONG! What's up with that? It sounds so ridiculous, but we do it in our lives and in our work.
