(2) An onslaught of police killings of innocent people of color in America (3) A stream of attacks in France by ISIS (4) Donald Trump is elected the Republican Presidential nominee under the mission to build a wall between the U.S. & Mexico & to ban all Muslims. (5) I quit my jobs to participate in a residency on Water Rights at Santa Fe Art Institute.
