of works in the spirit series is unknown at this time. He is using more pencil to get works and colors, etc. The work is spacious, yet not empty. There are a lot of metallic paints in the pieces - golds, bronzes, etc. Sun image in the background is a Mandala "Hathor" vibrations are significant.

"Bird" - symbol of the soul into the New World. Design movements imanate [[emanate]] in and out of the spiritual forms used. 

E. Akili's Critique

oil paint on Bainbridge board.

Serpentine forms are used to transform all manners of human and animal forms. Triangular structural components define the forms in a prismatic idiom. Colors and design are strong and pure. His work is like a jewel - the group was in agreement with the "jewel" concept.

F. Jeff Donaldson's Critique

Large TriWall piece in the midst of preparation for painting. The work is the first in a series of twenty women he will have known/he has yet to know than/they shall be revealed to him. The pieces will address themselves to the following -

a. repetition and change (32 view of a sister's "foundation" in a variety of attitudes" were
b. horror vacui
c. facets and registers
d. each will have images in different images
e. each composition will concern itself with one woman.

Problem - how to name the works and present them in such a way so as not to be derogatory.

He wants to idealize the specific and varied wonders of the black woman's anatomical splendor and to elevate the subject to the point of aesthetic analysis and polite discussion.

G. Adger Cowans' Critique

Black and white photography

A set of 3 black and white photographs were shown. They form a self-portrait concept. All of the pictures are from a self-portrait series he is working on. The size just happened visually. There is a dream world atmosphere in the work. He set up the props for the background by taping tissue paper butterflies over a window and waiting for a "perfect light". The pictures were inverted, turned sideways, etc. The work is very conceptual and suggestive of personal associative meaning for the individual viewer.
