"My role as an artist is comprehensive and embraces: activism, anthropology, ecology, and sociology.  I look at the world with a broad approach and analyze ways in which humans function. Using these interests I weave cross-cultural and interdisciplinary elements into a cohesive web.  From the backyard creek I grew up in, to the cities of Russia I have walked in, I have noted how humans are impacting our world.  My early awareness of environmental issues grew into involvement with social issues of inequality, poverty and the consequences of a growing corporate culture.  My artwork attempts to increase understanding of how contemporary society operates, and to provide a premise for action and change."

"My Human Rights Painting Project highlights the struggle for human rights the world over - and the important work that Amnesty International does in working towards this goal. Using a contemporary artistic voice, I interpret different aspects of the struggle for human rights, emphasizing the stories that bring it to life. Biographies of each person featured accompany the paintings." (www.tomblock.com)

Poolside

Lecture and Reception Friday, February 8 at 5pm

8x10 Polaroid and Silver Gelatin Prints
It is a hot summer day and what is more fun than to take a swim in a cool refreshing pool? The pool is the American icon for summer. It is a place to exercise the body and refresh the mind. It is a status symbol and one of independence.

These images explore the romance of the pool and the dreamlike quality of the lazy summer day. An 8x10 Pinhole camera captures the subject on black and white film and Polaroid film. The images are 1:1 to the format. The light reflecting on the floating raft becomes a pool dance on the film. The figures are many times blurred. This creates a dreamlike - if not - mystical feel to the imagery.
