Hello My Friend!! Thank you very much for that information. I need to purchase that book for I know that it is an interesting read. Recently (two weeks ago) went to LA for Samella's opening reception at Louis Stern Gallery in LA. It was a fantastic event.

I hope that all is well. Continue to educate and inspire as you continue to  futher Arts of the Diaspora.

Warm Regards

Clark

Chicago has been a factor my imagination in few ways. Growing up in the Detroit area Chicago was like our little New York. When my dad left home he moved there and always spoke fondly of it, I had other chose family that live or have live there over the years. As a undergraduate i attended Western Michigan in Kalamazoo, a child of the afro-techno and house music scenes, many weekends were spent driving to the Chi to Party at some the legendary clubs of the late 80s and 90s, I also had a frat brother who lived in the "Green" i would visit him. Even with all this as a background it wasn't until i was living in Zimbabwe that the inspiration came for the piece. The Farm/studio were i worked was about ten km from Harare, so on the weekend i would go into town to enjoy the nightlife. Once i decided to go to a movie the title was Candy Man(nothing like watching an African American film in Africa!!).The movie was a horror flick that centered around a evil spirit that occupied Cabrini Green. Having grown up for part of my life in a housing project called little Saigon, I had never thought about the residual life forms that may have or continue to occupy those places after death, both good and bad. After hearing about the demolition of the "Green" i invoked the traditional memorial aspects of stone.

Good evening Patric,
