"Missing Children: A Gathering" featuring 200 portraits of missing children.


Here is a view of my solo exhibition at L.A. Art Share gallery, located in the Arts district of downtown Los Angeles.


This is a detail of the central wall.

The show is up until June 20th, 2009. If you are in the area, come by for a visit!

Very overwhelming, kind of like the French Salon. Normally I wouldn't like it, but it suits the concept of your work incredibly well. Kudos, sir.

It's a heavy thing to take seeing so many of the pictures together, I suppose.

I have to agree, it is rather intense seeing all of them together. It makes the reality of so many children being gone undeniable.

What are the small pieces of paper near a few of the portraits?

This really is amazing John, it will move people. Congratulations.

I don't want to hold on. I'm giving up this fight. Take a breath of freedom. Hold it inside. "Hope is stronger than fear." That's something I'll never forget.
