Missing Connection

In this  era of different and multiple visual expression techniques,artists should strive to stay abreast with the changing times.

Thank God  for  the  Internet.Creative  minds  can  now  share  ideas  across  the  globe.Gone  are  the  days  when  people  in  one  region  used  to  do  their  things  in  their  own  way  while  others  did  the  different.

Some claimed to be ahead of others and some lagged behind.The only thing that is missing is to raise awareness aggressively through the audio visual mode of communication.

Few people bother to read books or research online,many rely on the T.V,radio and print  media  for  information.

The only problem we experience is  the  constant  negative  publicity  portrayed  by  the  big,international  News  channels.They  continue  showing  how  people  are  always  fighting,dying  of  disease,starving  and  how  uneducated  they  are.

It’s no wonder people have this ugly,dark image popping up in their minds anytime they hear the word Africa.People should realize that all people aren’t the same.

    My sister and her family live in Africa, and of course there is many beautiful parts with cities not different than any cities in any part of the world. I always dig the fabric patterns and art that my sister comes here with from there when she visits.
