"Applause", 2015, pen and ink with collage on fiberboard, 12 inches wide by 16 inches tall (30 x 40 cm).
This piece is about performance and the response to performance. As a visual artist, my need for feedback is no different from that of a musician or a stand-up comedian -- we are all exposing ourselves to public view and criticism, and we all hope for applause.
(The music, by the way, is from Mozart, the Clarinet Concerto in A Major, which I played in a previous stage in my life.)

has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
