All our empires of vanity erode and crumble down

And every moment now is precious

Reminding me that all is spiraling toward entropy

Am I an inch closer or is my dream bucolic fantasy

What is an art medium you appreciate but don't practice, and why?

glass blowing, i have seen it many many times, but it is not cheap, you really need to have a house. it isn't something to do in an apartment. I wouldn't even accept working a kiln in a loft. but glass blowing is lovely, figurines from it. really a lovely art, the light, photographers in a glass blowing shop always have fun.

Who are some of your favorite women artists?

Growing up Zora Neale Hurston, Billie Holiday,Josephine Baker, I have many favorite female artist in various genres.

What historical contributions by women do you think are underappreciated or should be highlighted?

Well, I think it must first be said that in the usa at least women have been vital members of every organization. PRotest movements/non violent movements, government law, a woman made the foundation of medicare in the fdr administration the first woman to be in a presidential cabinet if I am correct, Anyone correct me if I am wrong, sporting popularity, disney- many inkers were women whose names were not uttered as much, film , in the silent era there were more female directors than the early sound era, so... undervalued or in need of highlight is many. I will now answer the question and say, in the world of streetart,I think a number of female streetartist never get mention. I don't remember a few of their call names. But there you have it.

Share your favorite artwork by someone who has given you strength!

I Will share lyrics from Sade:) and her band.
....
I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender, so hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still, can't pull us apart
Nothing can come, nothing can come
Nothing can come between us (Nothing can pull us apart)
Baby, nothing can come, nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness, hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this, and this is everlasting, hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust (Yeah, yeah)
It's about faith (Ooh yeah)
It's about trust
Nothing can come, nothing can come
Nothing can come between us
Baby, nothing can come, nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us)
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us)
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)
