Self imposed

The poverty of experience is self-imposed and learned.

Sensual

Every moment is a rich sensual encounter. But it is not apparent. It is just the case that the receptors are dimmed by forceful conditioning of the mind and body.

Most natural-history artists today try to make what look like painted photographs, but Audubon gives you that pre-photographic way of looking, where the paper functions as air."

Deborah Roberts - Artist TRUE

"It just gives me time to be greater," Ms. Roberts said, "to really flesh out this work."

In this way, Ms. Roberts exemplifies where many emerging artists find themselves during the coronavirus quarantine, which is where they always are — in their studios, making work that may never sell; deploying well-honed habits of toiling in isolation; and drawing strength from the creative process that has long sustained them.

NEW YORK, NY: EXHAUSTED FUNERAL HOME EMPLOYEE CREMATED BY MISTAKE WHILE TAKING A NAP

News Local

By Janice Ellsworth On Apr 11, 2020

An employee of a New York, Funeral & Cremation Service died yesterday, after being accidentally cremated by one of his coworkers.

According to the Police, 48-year old Michael Jones decided to take a nap one a stretcher after working for sixteen hours straight to the recent influx of dead bodies.

While he was sleeping, another employee mistook him for the corpse of a 52-year old person who died from respiratory issues and moved him to the crematory.

Before anyone could notice the mistake, he had already been exposed to temperatures ranging between 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and reduced to ashes.

Jenna Anderson, one of Mr Jones's coworkers, says she heard him scream for about 15 seconds after the crematory was activated.

"At first, we didn't understand where the sound was coming from. When we realized what was happening, it was too late. We shut down the heating system, but he was already dead."

Ms. Anderson claims that the young coworker who caused the accident was a new employee, and had forgotten to check for the toe tag to make sure he had the right body.

Jenna Anderson says she heard the victim scream in agony as the crematory was reducing him to ashes.

The police has opened an investigation to determine the exact circumstances surrounding Mr Jone's death.

Investigators have not ruled out the possibility of filing criminal charges against the employee who caused his death.

The young man could possibly be accused of criminal negligence causing death.

Andrew Wyeth trains our eyes to see the world closer and better.

Through his work.

Wyeth

At 80 years of age, drawing and painting all day, every day, Wyeth works in the splendid isolation afforded by his studios in the hills of rural Chaddsford, Pennsylvania, or on the craggy shore of Port Clyde, Maine. This physical isolation is a reflection of Wyeth's aesthetic sensibility, an extension of his flinty determination to be unmoved by a century that has changed every other thing around him.
