Lancaster News Paper Interview - Emerging Forms, Unfolding Time

    "As the son of an artist, Christopher Moss naturally gravitated toward a career in the arts. So when his father, David Moss, was arranging a one-man exhibition of his mixed-media work at the Isadore Gallery, it just seemed natural for it to become a two-man, father-son exhibit.
"I was very excited to have the opportunity to exhibit with my father," says Chris Moss, 25, a Pennsylvania College of Art & Design graduate. "It's something we talked about when we were in New Mexico."
    David Moss is a painter, while his son is a photographer. In their exhibition, Chris Moss explores the landscapes of New Mexico in "Land of Enchantment," while David Moss's abstract mixed-media works evoke messages of the ever-changing balance of life in "Transient Equilibrium."
"Our work is very different, but there is a certain unity to it," Chris Moss says. "Maybe because.... "

They remind me of Weegee's photographs but taken in Mexico City during the 80's . http://www.zonezero.com

Occupy Wall Street- Ongoing Protest

I am so glad that this is happening throughout the US, and even the world. Its been long coming. The general outrage over corporate tyranny was bound to explode. With the rising numbers of joblessness, economic collapse, perpetual war, destruction of constitutional rights, bank bailouts, destruction of the environment, etc, etc, etc. And the list could go on and on!! Chances are there is or will be protests in your part of the world. Join in.

Long Month, Great Show, Time to Relax

I can finally stop to catch my breath. The past month or so has been so full of work I haven't had time to do anything else but eat, sleep and work. Between working 60 plus hours between two jobs, recording a demo with my band 7 Day Bender, and most importantly preparing for Octobers 1st Friday and Art Walk show at the Isadore Gallery i've had little time to unwind. I felt like I was back in college again.  Everything came together perfectly! I had a great time at the 1st Friday event, saw old friends and talked with former professors, ended up eating Japanese and going out with some friends for drinks. Finally I can get back to a normal work routine and have something that resembles a weekend! As of right now its Monday afternoon and I am working on doing absolutely nothing for the rest of the day..... I love making plans like these.
