THE LAST DAY OF THE "SPEAK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES"

After two nights in an exhibition space I felt emboldened enough to spend the morning street performing at the entrance to the Bieannale where the water taxis arrive. It was the most exhilirating feeling. I was lucky enough to be with Emily Stevens who witnessed and photographed the event and interactions. The response was immediate and intense and engaging. I'm writing now 2 years after the moment but remember it and the people interacted with vividly.

Those who visited were looking about for a place to deposit donations for my work which would have been incredible even though they had already paid me beyond measure with their engagement.

My purpose as an artist is to engage with others in a way that creates a paradigm shift and helps others challenge their viewpoints in a way that benefits their lives and mankind

There is an incredible power to this piece and it has given me the strength to create other pieces.
Peace.
