moved here two decades ago.\u00a0 Still, it doesn&#8217;t begin to compare with the diversity on the streets.\u00a0 Art galleries in New York are all free to enter, but the vast majority of people never do.\u00a0 Unfortunately a lot of art is pretentious and unfriendly to the uninitiated.\u00a0 This attracts an audience of initiates, whose aura of exclusivity tends to deter those who do not see

indirect form of communication.\u00a0 You make a painting or whatever, and later, people look at it and try to imagine what you were thinking or feeling in the act of creating it.\u00a0 For a long time I&#8217;ve had an interest in the potential of visual art as a more direct way of relating to another person.\u00a0 This interest has been explored through a highly collaborative way of working with models, through the idea of art as a ritual or experience (such as body painting), and through treating the act of drawing or painting as a dance or performance, for an audience.<\/p>\n<div
