Ceramic work by Rebecca Murtaugh, 2018.

I wanted to call attention to another artist's interview conducted by Kimberly Ruth on Art Uncovered.
This one features an interesting and informative conversation with Rebecca Murtaugh.


Rebecca is a very active and dynamic presence in the New York art scene and lives in Queens and Clinton, NY where she is a Professor of Art at Hamilton College.

Jericho and Things Fall Apart

Jericho by Barnett Newman


“Narrow is the Way and few the number. To fill the Lord’s holy temple with an idolatrous crowd clamoring for signs was a folly of everlasting consequence.  Our lord used the whip only once in his life - to drive the crowd away from his church.”

Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe
