Politics and art collide

Sometimes we have to let our emotions and convictions flow into our art.

 Immigration is, and has been a problem around the world for centuries. This is nothing new.  But we butt up against it daily on the news.  We only have one planet.

It started as a black and white study over a red primer.  I was playing with the light against dark, dark against light Burridge mantra.
