I was working within a figurative representational framework, and there was a sense of reading the painting as a transparency, or truth, or autobiography, which I think is partially the burden of artists of color - or women, or anybody who is representing a so-called minority position.

If only we could sit down at a big round world table and eat tacos in a spirit of love we might begin to work on world peace!
