Instead of our
collection, let's talk about hope. During Friday lunch, I was
viewing Nina Chanel Abney's new “
Imaginary Friend,” when he phoned his mother. Suddenly there was a loud beeping noise. Mom chuckled and said, "it's just a truck backing-up." Later, he learned she was in a hospital bed. It's pancreatic cancer. He asked why she lied, she said, "there was nothing you could do, and it'll all work out." As a Christian, mom believes in death and resurrection, and she faces trauma with the bold colors of hope. Color, that makes
Nina Chanel Abney our artist of the week.
