Censorship. Icky stuff. I just got an e-mail about some. This woman, Daddy Rhon, is an artist who created a beautiful portrait of a breast cancer survivor. And it got censored by the other artists who display in her building. You can read about it here: http://www.daddyrhon.com/. I think I find this particularly offensive because I have a friend, well, she's a girl I used to babysit for years and years ago, who is getting treatment for breast cancer. Think about that. A kid you babysat for now fighting stage 3 breast cancer. What kills me is she's got kids and a family and has a good life. My life is crap, but I'm not fighting for it. Not at the moment anyway. She doesn't deserve what's happening to her. Not at all. When I look at the painting by Daddy Rhon, I can see that woman's pain, feel her suffering. I want to hold her and comfort her, be there for her. It evokes deep emotions, which is really the entire point of art. For this beautiful work to be censored makes me sick.
